Will Chiranjeevi’s delay cost him at the box office?
Megastar Chiranjeevi is set to star in the upcoming film Viswambhara, initially scheduled for release during the Sankranthi season. However, the release has been postponed to the summer. After the recent teaser was released, many fans are questioning whether Chiranjeevi made the right decision by moving the film away from the Sankranthi slot.
The teaser has faced backlash, especially regarding its visual effects (VFX), which viewers have criticized. This criticism raises concerns about the overall quality of the film. Traditionally, films released during Sankranthi tend to do well at the box office, even if they are not technically perfect. The festival audience is known for embracing films regardless of their flaws, and Viswambhara could have benefited from this advantage.

If the film had been released during Sankranthi, the combination of holiday traffic and a decent storyline might have compensated for the less-than-stellar VFX. The director, Vassishta, has a good track record with his previous film, Bimbisara, where he effectively captured the audience’s emotions. If he had managed to replicate that emotional engagement in Viswambhara, it might have turned into a commercial success despite the technical shortcomings.
Now, with the film’s release pushed back, it will face greater scrutiny. Without the advantage of the Sankranthi holiday crowd, Viswambhara must stand on its own merits. This shift presents a significant challenge, as it will need to attract audiences purely based on its content and quality.
Chiranjeevi’s decision to delay the film may come with its risks, and only time will tell if it was the right choice. Fans will be eagerly waiting to see if Viswambhara can overcome these challenges and deliver a successful cinematic experience.
