Will Dil Raju go Mythri Movie Makers route this Sankranthi?
Updated : Oct 9, 2024
Dil Raju, the most active producer of Telugu Cinema, has crossed the milestone of 50 films in 20 years. He planned Game Changer with Ram Charan in the direction of Shankar, as his prestigious 50th film. He did not wait for the film to complete and release. He kept planning other films asusual and now, there is a possible clash between his two big films.
Game Changer and his film with Venkatesh in the direction of Anil Ravipudi are now being set to release for Sankranthi 2025, say sources. According to the recent buzz, the crew of Game Changer is working non-stop to deliver the film by December 20th. But they want to make use of Sankranthi holiday season till Republic Day rather than Christmas.
On the other hand, Anil Ravipudi has been working with Sankranthi in mind and he wants to repeat F2, Sarileru Neekevvaru success with this one, too. Also, the entire team of Venkatesh film believe that the comedy family entertainer will be apt for Sankranthi festival release.
At the same time, Dil Raju has spent a fortune on Game Changer and big festival weekend will be great for the film despite bad word of mouth. On top of it, Shankar seems to on a downward spiral ever since "I" film. His recent release Indian 2 has been his career's biggest disaster. So, for the producer it would be safe to go for a festival date rather than Christmas for such a film.
If Shankar is back to form, Sankranthi date will work wonders in Tamil Markets, too. And producer Dil Raju has great relationship with Venkatesh and Anil Ravipudi. He cannot plainly hurt them and take one-sided decision. Even Venkatesh has long list of successes that released for Sankranthi season, so he might not be that eager to lose such a date.
To please both, he might go for releasing both of his films for the same holiday season. Mythri Movie Makers did release Waltair Veerayya starring Megastar Chiranjeevi and Veera Simha Reddy starring Nandamuri Balakrishna, with one day gap for 2023 Sankranthi. Well, Balakrishna's 109th film is set for holiday release for sure.
As Vishwambhara starring Megastar Chiranjeevi got postponed due to Chiranjeevi's recent illness, Ram Charan wants to grab the date and release Game Changer for 10th January.
At the same time, Venky Anil Ravipudi film is set for 14th January release, according to reports. Let's wait and watch if Dil Raju take Mythri route as he stated earlier that he is not as brave as Mythri Movie Makers to go for two releases in same season.
