More news →Sankranti to see huge releases
In the north, Diwali is the time for huge releases. In Andhra, it's either Sankranti or Ugadi. This Sankranti is going to be no different. There are films of some heavyweights that are being lined up. To begin with, there is Nagarjuna and Vishnu's yet-to-be titled film which will in all probability be released on January 14. The film is a heavily inspired version of Bruce Almighty. It has singer-turned-actress Mamta Mohandas in the lead opposite Vishnu. Nag and Mohan Babu play cameos as Gods. Then of course, there is the Pawan Kalyan, Ileana-starrer tentatively titled Jalsa. The film has not one, but three heroines. There is Parvati Melton and Kamalini too in the film. Then there is the highly anticipated film Vaana, which is the directorial debut of M S Raju. The film is incidentally the remake of hit Kannada film Mungaru Malle and has Vinay Chopra and Meera Chopra in the lead. The film's music will be released by Aditya Music on December 14 and it is said that it could be released on the festival day. Though it is not confirmed yet, it is being rumoured that Allu Arjun's film with Bhaskar who had earlier directed Bommarillu, too could be released on this day. Since it's been a long time since Allu Arjun has been seen on screen and given the fan following that he has got post his soft drink advertisement, many of his girl fans are looking forward to his next release. Another film that could be postponed to Sankranti or released in December is Nagarjuna's film Don. He is once again paired with Anushka in the film. Knowing Nagarjuna, it could be one stylish flick. Yet another mega film that has become the talk of the industry is Okka Mogadu. Directed by YVS Choudhary, it has Balakrishna in the lead. Simran is playing a special role after a long time and Balakrishna has two other heroines in the film. The music has already been sold for a very large amount and given YVS Choudhary's midas touch, there is a lot of anticipation in the industry that it could be the biggest film released on Sankranti.
