Allari Naresh’s Alcohol Delayed: Industry Buzz Swirls Around Release Plans

Allari Naresh, known for his versatile picks in recent years, wrapped up shooting for his much-discussed film Alcohol quite some time ago. The film, produced by the reputed Sithara Entertainments, was initially teased as a unique New Year 2026 release. Yet, five months into the year, the industry is buzzing about the silence surrounding its release.

As per sources, despite the film’s completed status, there’s still no clarity on when audiences will get to see it. Alcohol also marks the directorial debut of Meher Tej and features a solid cast including Ruhani Sharma, Niharika NM, and Girish Kulkarni. The project boasts music by Ghibran and involvement from several noted technicians, which only adds to the curiosity.

Reportedly, Sithara Entertainments has invested considerably, making the delay all the more surprising. The grapevine suggests internal discussions are still ongoing, though nothing has been officially confirmed. Meanwhile, Naresh has already moved on to other projects, leaving fans to wonder about the fate of this ambitious venture.

For now, the wait continues as industry watchers keep their ears to the ground for any concrete update on Alcohol’s release. Will this one finally see the light of day soon? Only time will tell.
