A top news channel reported that Natasimham Nandamuri Balakrishna's 'Gauthamiputra Satakarni' is the only film confirmed for Sankranthi release. The channel also speculated that all the big films which were planned for Sankranthi release may be postponed.
The channel particularly mentioned that Megastar Chiranjeevi's 150th film and King Nagarjuna's 'Om Namo Venkatesaya' would get their release dates postponed. Nevertheless, none of the production teams have disclosed that they would defer their films. Observers reckon that it was a cooked up story by the channel or an attempt by a big film's makers to invite buyers for pre biz.
Whatever it is, there is a need the makers of 'Kathilantodu' and 'Om Namo Venkatesaya' should come up with clarity on the release dates of their films to avoid confusion among fans. In the meanwhile, both the films are being filmed at a rapid pace.
