Sankranti
is
an
auspicious
occasion
for
one
and
all
and
is
even
more
favourable
for
the
Telugu
cine
industry.
The
epic
clash
of
Chiranjeevi-Balakrishna,
a
series
of
new
movie
releases
have
all
taken
place
during
Sankranti
and
the
coming
Sankranti
of
2018
will
be
no
different.
The
much
anticipated
flick
of
Powerstar
Pawan
Kalyan,
which
is
the
actor's
25th
movie,
will
see
light
on
10th
of
January
2018
on
the
occasion
of
Sankranti.
Touted
to
be
one
of
the
last
few
movies
of
the
Powerstar
who
is
all
set
to
venture
into
politics,
the
movie
has
raised
expectations
as
the
hit
combo
of
PK-Trivikram
is
back.
A
song
teaser
was
released
on
the
occasion
of
the
actor's
birthday
which
has
made
the
Power
fans
to
listen
to
the
bit
on
loop.
Anirudh
Ravichander's
debut
in
Tollywood
couldn't
have
been
better
and
the
launch
pad
has
been
used
to
the
fullest
by
the
young
music
composer.
After
back-to-back
dismal
performances
at
the
box
office
with
Sadaar
Gabbar
Singh
and
Katamarayudu,
Pawan
Kalyan
is
in
quest
of
a
blockbuster
in
the
form
of
this
yet
to
be
titled
movie,
which
for
now
is
christened
as
PSPK
25.
Nandamuri
Balakrishna,
is
an
energetic
and
busy
man.
With
many
young
heroes
acting
in
just
one
movie
a
year,
here
we
have
this
56-year-old
actor
acting
in
a
couple
of
movies
without
much
break.
His
Sankranti
superhit
release,
Gauthami
Putra
Satakarni,
was
a
superhit
at
the
box
office.
It
was
soon
followed
by
the
quick
release
of
Paisa
Vasool,
directed
by
Puri
Jagannadh.
The
movie
tanked
at
the
box
office
but
did
not
deter
the
spirits
of
Balakrishna
even
a
single
bit.
The
actor
is
now
busy
working
for
an
untitled
movie
with
KS
Ravikumar.
Interestingly,
the
movie
is
also
slated
for
a
Sankranti
2018
release.
Balayya,
who
has
locked
horns
with
the
senior
Mega
hero,
Chiranjeevi,
numerous
times
earlier,
would
now
be
going
head-on-head
with
the
latter's
younger
brother
for
the
first
time.
Meanwhile,
Ram
Charan-Sukumar's
Rangasthalam
was
announced
as
a
Sankranti
release
much
before
the
announcement
of
Pawan
Kalyan
and
Balakrishna's
movies.
It
will
be
interesting
to
see
if
the
Mega
Power
Star
backs
out
of
the
Sankranti
release
and
instead
allow
the
Mega
fans
to
rejoice
the
arrival
of
his
Baabai
and
not
pose
a
competition
within
the
family
itself.
2017
Sankranti
had
witnessed
releases
of
Khaidi
No
150,
Gauthami
Putra
Satakarni
and
Shatamanam
Bhavathi
where
all
movies
scored
well
at
the
box
office
and
wish
the
same
result
for
the
next
year.
