With Pushpa 2 completing three weeks since its release, the focus has now shifted to the Sankranthi 2025 releases. Three major films – Daaku Maharaaj, Game Changer, and Sankranthiki Vasthunnam – are set to hit theaters starting January 10, 2025.
Latest update on ticket hikes for Sankranthi 2025 Telugu releases
Pongal is a significant festival in Andhra Pradesh, and these films are expected to be released on a grand scale across the state. Special shows will be organized, and ticket prices will see a hike. However, the situation differs in Telangana. Due to the Sandhya Theater stampede incident, special shows and ticket hikes will not be permitted in the Nizam region.
In contrast, the Andhra Pradesh government has approved ticket price hikes for these major releases. An official GO (Government Order) regarding the exact cap on ticket hikes is expected soon. Speaking to the press, Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan expressed support for ticket hikes, citing the significant investments made by filmmakers. His statement indicates that the AP government will approve the price increase.
This decision has been well-received by industry insiders, who are now turning their attention to Telangana, a crucial market. There is speculation that Revanth Reddy may permit ticket hikes in Telangana but might restrict special and late-night shows.
Game Changer, Daaku Maharaaj, and Sankranthiki Vasthunnam to be out in January 2025
Game Changer, starring Ram Charan and Kiara Advani, will be the first to release on January 10, 2025. Following this, Daaku Maharaaj, featuring Balakrishna, Bobby Deol, and Urvashi Rautela, will hit screens on January 12, 2025.
Finally, Sankranthiki Vasthunnam, starring Venkatesh, Meenakshi Chaudhary, and Aishwarya Rajesh, directed by Anil Ravipudi, will be released on January 14, 2025. It remains to be seen how much ticket prices will rise and which of these films will dominate the box office. Stay tuned for more updates.
