Key Highlights

  • Vrushakarma aims for December 3, 2026, release, previously set for Fauzi
  • Speculation grows about Fauzi's possible postponement, no official word yet
  • Directed by Karthik Varma Dandu, starring Naga Chaitanya and Meenakshi Chaudhary

Naga Chaitanya’s upcoming thriller Vrushakarma is now aiming for a December 3, 2026 release, a date previously set for Prabhas’s Fauzi. Directed by Karthik Varma Dandu, known for his work on Virupaksha, Vrushakarma has steadily built anticipation, especially after its teaser and promotional glimpses received positive attention online. Meenakshi Chaudhary stars opposite Naga Chaitanya, with the film produced by B.V.S.N. Prasad under Sri Venkateswara Cine Chitra in association with Sukumar Writings. Music is composed by B. Ajaneesh Loknath, further boosting expectations for the film’s audio and background score.

Industry chatter suggests that Fauzi, which was originally scheduled for the same date, may be postponed, though there is no official confirmation yet. The December release calendar is becoming increasingly competitive, with other projects like Sri Sri and Legacy also in the mix, adding to the intrigue around major Telugu releases at the end of 2026.

Vrushakarma stands out for its blend of adventure, ancient mystery, and grand visuals, marking one of Naga Chaitanya’s most ambitious projects to date. Earlier this year, Meenakshi Chaudhary discussed the film’s mythological elements and her character, highlighting the unique approach the team is taking. The production, which was nearing completion in May, is now gearing up for an aggressive promotional campaign in the coming weeks, according to sources. Further updates on the film’s release and marketing strategy are expected soon.
