The Telugu superstar revealed that the film’s release has been pushed to summer 2026, citing the massive scale of its visual effects as the key reason for the delay. Chiranjeevi explained that the second half of the film is heavily dependent on advanced VFX and graphics, and the team is determined to go the extra mile to deliver a world-class spectacle.
A Summer Spectacle in the Making
Calling the film a grand fantasy adventure meant to ignite the child in every viewer, Chiranjeevi assured fans that the wait will be worth it. He also confirmed that the teaser would be unveiled at 6:06 PM on August 21, as part of his birthday celebrations, offering fans their first real glimpse into the epic.
VFX: A Monumental Task
The project involves an unprecedented 4,800 VFX shots, with top studios from across India and abroad working together to craft breathtaking visuals. Earlier this year, Chiranjeevi himself approved the final cut of the major VFX portions, expressing his excitement about the outcome.
