Key Highlights

  • Vishwambara, starring Chiranjeevi, may release during Sankranthi 2027
  • Final decision on release awaits closure of OTT deal
  • Kaaka's release could shift to summer to avoid a festival clash
  • Vishwambara is the costliest film in Chiranjeevi’s career

Megastar Chiranjeevi’s upcoming film Vishwambara is back in the spotlight as talks intensify about a possible Sankranthi 2027 release. The socio-fantasy project, directed by Vassishta and produced by UV Creations, has been one of the most delayed ventures in Chiranjeevi’s career, with fans eagerly awaiting clarity on its release schedule.

Trisha stars alongside Chiranjeevi, while acclaimed composer MM Keeravani is handling the music. Industry sources indicate that discussions are ongoing about targeting the lucrative Sankranthi festival window for Vishwambara’s theatrical debut. According to the latest updates, a final decision will be made by Chiranjeevi himself, with the OTT deal for the film reportedly already finalized. The team is expected to lock in the release date once this deal is officially closed.

If Vishwambara secures the Sankranthi slot, Chiranjeevi’s other film Kaaka, which is currently in production and was previously announced for a Sankranthi release, may be pushed to the summer to avoid a box office clash. This potential reshuffling has generated considerable buzz among mega fans, who have been waiting for a major update since no announcement was made on Chiranjeevi’s birthday.

Earlier reports this year highlighted that Vishwambara is the most expensive film of Chiranjeevi’s career. In late August, it was noted that the release had been delayed due to pending VFX work. Now, with the OTT partnership in place and festival season discussions heating up, the film’s release strategy is at a critical juncture.
