Sithara Entertainments, the most successful production house in Tollywood, is now in the news for making strategic changes to the release of its films. With two high-profile films on its plate—Vijay Deverakonda’s Kingdom and Ravi Teja’s Mass Jathara—the studio is revamping its release schedule to steer clear of intra-studio competition and ensure maximum box office exposure.
Delays in Post-production of Kingdom Sends Release into July
First, the team of production announced Kingdom for a late March release. Vijay Deverakonda fans were excited, looking forward to a summer hit. But with extensive post-production needs, particularly in terms of VFX and sound mixing, the makers rescheduled the release for May 30. Even with this change, new reports now indicate that even the May date will not be kept.
Post-production continues, and the creators intend to present a visually magnificent experience. In order to ensure the movie meets high standards of quality, Kingdom is now scheduled to hit theaters in July 2025. The team has not officially announced the new date yet, but insiders indicate that July is finalized unless unforeseen obstacles occur.
Mass Jathara Gets Pushed to Avoid Internal Clash
The postponement of Kingdom has directly affected Sithara Entertainments’ own big-budget affair, Mass Jathara. The producers had already postponed Mass Jathara to a July tentative date from its original plan of a Sankranti festival release. But with Kingdom now taking over that slot, the production unit has no other option but to postpone the Ravi Teja starrer further.
As per sources, Mass Jathara will now release in August or September. Sithara Entertainments is deliberately keeping away from a clash between its two high-budget films. The studio feels both the films should have their own space at the box office to ensure maximum collections and keep the audience excited.
Strategic Decision Aims at Box Office Optimization
This calculated postponement indicates a maturity trend in the release strategy in Tollywood. In contrast to the earlier culture of rush with major movies opening within weeks of one another, production houses these days acknowledge the significance of definite windows.
By stagger scheduling Kingdom and Mass Jathara, Sithara Entertainments is not only safeguarding its investments but also showing consideration towards viewer interest. Fans will have the chance to enjoy both films in their entirety, without having to make the hard choice between two big releases.
Bhairava Takes Up the May 30 Vacant Slot
The Kingdom and Hari Hara Veera Mallu-vacated window on May 30 has now been in the news. Taking center stage is Bhairava, a promising action drama featuring Bellamkonda Sai Srinivas, Manchu Manoj, and Nara Rohit.
With the biggies departing, the producers of Bhairava declared May 30 as their official release date. This presents the film with a huge chance to attract audiences without heavy competition. The fans of all three lead actors now eagerly wait for this surprise summer treat.
Fan Expectations Remain Sky-High
Although the delays have disappointed some of the fans, most people concur with the studio’s policy. Quality cannot be sacrificed at the expense of deadlines, particularly in the case of big-budget movies.
Kingdom, which introduces Vijay Deverakonda in a new, gritty avatar, has generated a lot of buzz with teasers and stills. The movie is going to be an epic action entertainer with a new story, and the fans are eagerly waiting to see the actor play a gritty role against a historical backdrop.
Conversely, Mass Jathara re-introduces Ravi Teja in a complete mass role, which his fans always yearn for. With high-voltage dialogues, peppy songs, and mass-appealing action sequences, the movie is set to be a festival hit. Delaying it to a less busy window may actually improve its box office collection.
Industry Experts Welcome the Move
Industry observers and trade watchers view this step as a sensible one. A clash between two movies from the same brand would only divide the viewers and cut into revenues. Giving them a gap ensures that both movies get the attention they are entitled to.
Further, this is a good example for other production houses to follow. Rather than packing movies into festival or high-traffic months, studios can schedule in advance and create niche spots to maximize audience and revenue.
Official Announcements Coming Soon
Sithara Entertainments has not made official announcements regarding the revised release dates of Kingdom and Mass Jathara yet. Nonetheless, insiders confirm that revised posters, new teasers, and overhauled marketing strategies are poised to be launched as soon as the dates are settled.
Avid fans can anticipate these announcements within a few weeks. In the meantime, social media remains abuzz with speculations, fan theories, and rumors on which movie will capture the box office when it is eventually released.

With Kingdom occupying the July slot and Mass Jathara targeting a safe landing in August or September, Sithara Entertainments has demonstrated a keen business sense and audience insight. This release strategy not only sidesteps intra-company competition but also provides continuous buzz for every film.
Though the wait will be longer than anticipated, the reward appears to be worth it. If everything goes according to plan, the latter half of 2025 can become a blockbuster season ruled by Sithara Entertainments.
