The movie Vishwambhara has reportedly withdrawn from the Sankranti release race, according to the latest buzz.
While the official reason being circulated in Tollywood is the unavailability of an OTT slot, the real reason is said to be something else.
According to reliable sources, Ram Charan himself requested the postponement of Vishwambhara to prioritize the release of his own film, Game Changer.
Game Changer has been in production for a long time, and its release date has yet to be officially confirmed.
While a Christmas release remains uncertain, Sankranti is a crucial season for both Tamil and Telugu films, which is why director Shankar is aiming for a Sankranti release.
In this scenario, it seems that Ram Charan has persuaded his close friend and one of the producers of Vishwambhara, Vikram Reddy, to delay the movie.
Although Vishwambhara is ready for release, if Game Changer is slated for a January release, Vishwambhara will be postponed. Otherwise, it could still release during Sankranti.
However, if the latest reports are accurate and Game Changer is almost confirmed for Sankranti, it seems inevitable that Vishwambhara will be pushed back, out of respect for Ram Charan's friendship.
More clarity on the situation is expected soon.
