Next Sankranthi season is going to be an eventful one for Telugu cinema followers as several biggies have locked release slots next festival season. Bheemla Nayak, Sarkaru Vaari Paata, and Radhe Shyam are announced for Sankranthi 2022 release. These much-awaited biggies will be releasing on 12th, 13th, and 14th January next year. Tollywood followers are eager to witness the high-octane clash between these three big-ticket films next Sankranthi season. The stakes are particularly high on all these three A-lister projects. However, a wild speculation surrounding the release dates of these biggies is sparking a debate on social media.
As per this speculation, Pawan Kalyan – Rana’s Bheemla Nayak will be pushed to January 26th, which marks Republic Day and Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Acharya will be occupying its initial release date – 12th January. It is said that the makers of Acharya got to an agreement with the makers of Bheemla Nayak and the film’s release date will be announced very soon. The whole point behind this particular rumor is that Bheemla Nayak will be pushed to Republic Day release, while Acharya will be releasing during the Sankranthi season.
Well, the makers of Bheemla Nayak had announced the release date much in advance and they have already started whirlwind promotions. There is more than enough time to wrap up the shoot and prepare the final cut as Sankranthi is still 4 months from now. There is absolutely no reason for the film to be postponed until and unless the 3rd wave of Covid hits the Telugu states.
As for Acharya, the film is in the final leg of the shoot and the remaining portion can be shot at a brisk pace once the shoot resumes. Given the fact that the shooting is close to completion, the makers will be eyeing the earliest possible release slot for the film. As things stand, the Dasara release slot is widely open. RRR, which had occupied Dasara release is set to be postponed to a later date. So, Acharya can gladly take up the 13th October release slot. The same is the intention of the makers of the Koratala Siva directorial as well. It can be understood that Acharya will release this Dasara while Bheemla Nayak sticks to its Sankranthi release prospect.
