2 days ago | 5 Views

As Pushpa 2 marks three weeks since its debut, attention has now turned to the film releases scheduled for Sankranthi 2025. Three significant films—Daaku Maharaaj, Game Changer, and Sankranthiki Vasthunnam—are poised to premiere in theatres beginning January 10, 2025.

Latest update on ticket hikes for Sankranthi 2025 Telugu releases

Pongal is an important festival celebrated in Andhra Pradesh, and it is anticipated that these films will be launched on a large scale throughout the state. Special screenings will be arranged, and there will be an increase in ticket prices. Conversely, the scenario in Telangana is different. In light of the Sandhya Theater stampede incident, special screenings and price increases for tickets will not be allowed in the Nizam region.

The government of Andhra Pradesh has sanctioned increases in ticket prices for these prominent film releases. An official Government Order detailing the specific limits on these price hikes is anticipated shortly. In a press conference, Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan voiced his endorsement of the ticket increases, highlighting the substantial investments made by filmmakers. His remarks suggest that the Andhra Pradesh government is poised to approve the price adjustments.

This decision has garnered positive reactions from industry stakeholders, who are now focusing on Telangana, an important market. There are rumours that Revanth Reddy may allow ticket price increases in Telangana, although he may impose restrictions on special and late-night screenings.

Game Changer, Daaku Maharaaj, and Sankranthiki Vasthunnam to be out in January 2025

Game Changer, featuring Ram Charan and Kiara Advani, is set to premiere on January 10, 2025. This will be followed by Daaku Maharaaj, which stars Balakrishna, Bobby Deol, and Urvashi Rautela, scheduled for release on January 12, 2025.

Lastly, Sankranthiki Vasthunnam, directed by Anil Ravipudi and starring Venkatesh, Meenakshi Chaudhary, and Aishwarya Rajesh, will debut on January 14, 2025. It will be interesting to observe the potential increase in ticket prices and to determine which of these films will lead at the box office. Further updates will be provided as they become available.
