Following the success of Sankranthi 2026, several prominent Telugu projects are gearing up for the 2027 festive season. Stars including Chiranjeevi, Venkatesh, and Rashmika Mandanna have films scheduled, promising another competitive box office clash. This period remains a key window for Telugu cinema blockbusters.
Sankranthi has long been a prime release window for Telugu films, drawing massive audiences during the harvest festival in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The 2026 edition proved no exception, with hits like Chiranjeevi's Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu grossing over ₹300 crore worldwide, alongside successes such as The Raja Saab, Anaganaga Oka Raju, Bhartha Mahaseyulaku Wignyapthi, and Sharwanand's Nari Nari Naduma Murari. Only the Prabhas-starrer among the lineup underperformed at the box office.
Building on this momentum, producers are now positioning key projects for Sankranthi 2027. Chiranjeevi's untitled film, directed by Bobby Kolli, leads the pack. With his fantasy epic Vishwambhara set for a summer 2026 release after completing production, this action venture slots into the festive period to maximize appeal.
Sharwanand, fresh from his 2026 comeback hit, teams up with director Sreenu Vaitla for an upcoming comedy, aiming to sustain his rising form. Venkatesh returns in the sequel Sankranthiki Vasthunnam 2, helmed by Anil Ravipudi, whose prior Sankranthi releases have consistently succeeded. Teja Sajja follows his Mirai triumph with Zombie Reddy 2, a horror-comedy sequel currently in production. Rashmika Mandanna stars in Mysaa, another shoot underway, with plans to tap into the seasonal excitement.
Additional films are vying for spots, ensuring a crowded field reminiscent of past years. As Telugu cinema thrives on these high-stakes clashes, Sankranthi 2027 could elevate the stakes further, blending star power with festive fervor.
