Chiranjeevi’s much-hyped fantasy film Vishwambhara is facing major delays and is now unlikely to hit theatres before summer 2026.
This means Chiranjeevi’s film with Anil Ravipudi, which is scheduled for a Sankranthi 2026 release in January, might release first.

Initially planned for a 2025 release, Vishwambhara has been pushed back due to heavy and still-pending VFX work. This unexpected setback has left fans disappointed, especially with Chiranjeevi’s birthday (August 22) around the corner — a time when they were hoping for fresh updates.
Instead, it has been decided to re-release Stalin (2006), directed by A.R. Murugadoss. Though Stalin was a box office flop during its original release, it enjoys nostalgic value among fans thanks to its mass-appeal elements — powerful dialogues, punchy interval blocks, and Mani Sharma’s music.

However, fan patience is wearing thin. The last meaningful update for Vishwambhara came exactly a year ago with a teaser that was slammed for weak VFX. Since then, only one lyrical video (“Raama Raama”) has been released, and it too failed to generate much buzz.
With UV Creations remaining tight-lipped and Chiranjeevi already moving on to his next film with Anil Ravipudi, expectations for Vishwambhara are now clouded with skepticism.

While Stalin’s re-release may spark brief excitement, fans have made their stance clear — nostalgia alone isn’t enough.
They want quality updates and timely delivery for Vishwambhara, not prolonged silence. For now, Vishwambhara remains stuck in limbo, and the big question is whether the eventual payoff will be worth the extended wait.
