Venkatesh, Rajinikanth, Vijay Deverakonda: Dasara 2026 Release Dates in Flux

Venkatesh’s upcoming Telugu film Aadarsha Kutumbam, which was initially announced for an October 2nd, 2026 release, is now at the center of a reshuffling of Dasara season release dates. Venkatesh, known for his consistent performances and family entertainers, was set to kick off the festive box office race this year. However, the crowded Dasara calendar is seeing fresh changes as multiple big-ticket films adjust their plans.

Superstar Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2, a sequel eagerly awaited by fans after the success of the original, is currently slated for an October 15th theatrical release. However, according to industry talk, post-production delays may push Jailer 2 out of the Dasara window. The makers are reportedly considering a Diwali release if the work cannot be completed in time, with an official update expected within the next ten days. This uncertainty has triggered speculation about further shifts among other major releases.

Vijay Deverakonda’s Ranabaali has now been announced for an October 16th release, adding to the competitive lineup. Meanwhile, Chiranjeevi’s Vishwambara, which was rumored to join the Dasara race, is now unlikely to release during the festival period, as per the latest developments. If Jailer 2 is postponed, Aadarsha Kutumbam may move to October 15th, reshaping the entire release chart for the season.

Industry sources indicate that a clearer picture of the Dasara 2026 release schedule will emerge in the next two weeks, as filmmakers finalize their plans to maximize festive box office potential.
