Corona virus pandemic has changed the entire equation for Tollywood. All the release dates, all the shooting schedules everything went out of hands in this pandemic situation. Currently lock down got imposed and everyone has no idea when things will become normal again. Coming to the expectations of release dates, there is possibility that mega clash is inevitable for Pongal season.
Sankranthi is considered to be the biggest season for Tollywood. 2020 had great start for Tollywood with two biggies Sarileru Neekevvaru and Ala Vaikunthapuramulo made huge money. But corona virus forced to shut down all the theaters. It is almost evident that Rajamouli’s RRR will miss the scheduled Sankranthi release.
With this trade analysts are predicting few movies which can schedule their releases for Sankranthi season. Positive options they have before them is Pawan Kalyan‘s Vakeel Saab and Chiranjeevi‘s Acharya. Almost 80 percent shoot of Vakeel Saab is completed but Dil Raju is making sure that Sankranthi release will be best for Pawan Kalyan. On the other hand, Acharya was first scheduled for Dussehra release but taking current situation into consideration Koratala Shiva and Chiru came into conclusion that Sankranthi race is best for them. However clear picture will come in coming months.
