Reports of strained relations between the Allu and Mega families have circulated for some time, suggesting the two sides are not on good terms. Recently, Allu Arjun’s political activities have added fuel to these rumors, raising questions about whether Allu Aravind would oppose Chiranjeevi.
Allu Aravind’s Geetha Arts is producing the big-budget project “Thandel,” starring Naga Chaitanya. Initially set for a year-end release, “Thandel” faces stiff competition in December with multiple major releases, including “Pushpa 2,” “Kannappa,” and “Game Changer.” Additionally, NBK109 is also scheduled for release during December/Sankranti.
Originally targeting a December release, “Thandel” may now be pushed to Sankranti, which is already crowded with high-profile films like Chiranjeevi’s “Vishwambhara,” along with movies from Venkatesh and Ravi Teja. However, if any of these films are postponed, “Thandel” could secure a Sankranti release slot. The key question remains: will Allu Aravind release “Thandel” and go head-to-head with Chiranjeevi’s “Vishwambhara”?
