Mega Power Star Ram Charan's 'Naayak' and 'Yevadu' were released in two consecutive seasons of Sankranthi in the years 2013 and 2014. In both the occasions, Ram Charan has emerged as the Pongal winner. As a solo hero, Ram Charan got the victory with 'Naayak' facing the heat of 'Seethamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu' in 2013. He repeated the feat again with 'Yevadu' in 2014.
However, none of the movies of Ram Charan is releasing for Sankranthi, 2015. His new movie 'Govindhudu Andarivadele' is releasing for the season of Dussehra this year, while his next project in the direction of Srinu Vaitla is slated for Summer, 2015's release. Though Ram Charan is not arriving for Sankranthi next year, another mega hero, Power Star Pawan Kalyan will make hulchul at the box office with his new movie 'Gopala Gopala'. The movie is being planned for release on 13 January, 2015. As such, Pawan Kalyan takes off where Ram Charan signs out.
