The two ambitious movies, Thandel, and the as-yet untitled one featuring Venkatesh and Anil Ravipudi, will not release for Sankranti as expected this season. Both were originally expected to be part of the highly competitive Sankranti lineup, traditionally one of the biggest periods for Telugu cinema at the box office. However, both productions have confirmed in the past few days that they will not come out as planned.
Production Delays Lead to Postponement
Both Thandel and the Venkatesh-Anil Ravipudi movie have gone cautious with the release date due to production delays. As this is a big-budget movie, sources in the film industry said that this can be evidenced because it’s a lot of hard work with complex production. Another movie directed by a rising star, it has always been in the criticism sights of the young movie buffs as there has been much hype about the film. However, it appears that the team will be needing extra time for the film to get out without compromising on the quality of the movie.
Similar is the case with the Venkatesh-Anil Ravipudi project, with much ado about the association of the veteran hero with the blockbuster director. Though shooting is going on, there is not a chance for a prep any sooner than Sankranti 2025, claim insiders and add that the film will take longer than the original set time frame.
No Clash for Sankranti Box Office
The period around Sankranti happens to be the most rewarding time for most of the Telugu filmmakers. With a few big releases to fight for box office thrones, it gets fiercer and yet more economical on the showbiz anvil. The non-release of Thandel and the Venkatesh-Anil Ravipudi film leaves a huge void in the Sankranti lineup. This year, audiences were looking forward to a high-octane clash between these two films and other major releases. Thus, with the conclusion of both films, the rivalry that shall exist to fight for Sankranti 2025 would be a little less intense and will pave the way for other films to dominate the box office.
New Possible Release Dates
So far, the release dates of neither film have been annunciated officially, which has left room for much speculation that summer 2025 might be a shooting target or festival season by even later dates, such as Dussehra or Diwali. Both films are highly anticipated, and their fans are sticking to any updates regarding when they could actually watch them in theaters.

In Sankranti 2025, the festival season will witness fewer big releases, which might hand a larger market share of the box office to other films.
