Chiranjeevi's upcoming film with director Bobby is generating strong buzz as it lines up for a Sankranthi 2027 release, potentially setting the stage for a box office face-off with Sai Dharam Tej’s period action drama, Sambarala Yeti Gattu. Sai Dharam Tej, known for his recent ambitious choices, will see his latest film hit theatres on January 12, 2027. The movie, set against a backdrop of oppression, is expected to be a major release for the festive season.
Meanwhile, social media is abuzz with speculation that Chiranjeevi’s second collaboration with director Bobby is also aiming for the same Sankranthi window. The production team is set to unveil the film’s first glimpse this Saturday, coinciding with Chiranjeevi’s birthday, and there is talk that an official release date announcement may follow.
Industry watchers note that Mega family heroes typically avoid direct competition at the box office to prevent splitting audience attention and revenues. However, with both films targeting the lucrative Sankranthi period, fans are closely watching to see if the two releases will indeed go head-to-head. The source points out that Chiranjeevi’s project is considered larger in scale, which could influence the final release strategy.
As anticipation builds, all eyes are on the upcoming birthday reveal for Chiranjeevi’s film, which may confirm whether this rare Mega hero clash will materialize during Sankranthi 2027.
