The excitement for Sankranti movies is growing very high, especially after recent comments from Hanuman producer Niranjan Reddy caused a lot of talk in the industry.
Niranjan Reddy said spending 150 crores on a movie doesn’t ensure its success, which has started discussions about what makes a movie ‘big’, letting the audience decide its value. There’s also talk about unfairness in theaters, as only a small part of single screens is given for Hanuman’s showing. This raises questions about fairness and favoritism.
Although Niranjan Reddy didn’t mention names, it’s understood he’s talking about Mahesh Babu’s movie Guntur Karam, which is also releasing on January 12, the same day as Hanuman. It’s clear he’s talking about the Guntur Karam movie not allowing enough screens for Hanuman.
Despite this tough competition, Niranjan Reddy stays positive, believing Hanuman will succeed despite the challenges. But there’s a lot happening in the next few days, especially with talks about Eagle’s possible delay and plans for movies like Naa Sami ranga and Saindhav in theaters. Industry leaders are trying to solve clashes among these five movies, but it seems difficult to find a solution.
Niranjan Reddy’s comments sparked discussions on social media, showing real concerns in a tricky situation with no easy solutions for Sankranti releases and smaller films. With multiple movies clashing and uncertainties about screenings, the industry is struggling to handle these challenges. As Sankranti gets closer, the fate of these movies is uncertain, leaving everyone wondering what will happen and who has the power to influence it.
