Every star hopes to be released at least once, if not annually, because
sankranti is one of the hottest seasons. Even mediocre or embarrassing star-studded movies become successes or superhits since it's such a huge season. Since
ram Charan's Game Changer was moved from
christmas 2024 to
sankranti 2025 to dodge the heat of Allu Arjun's
pushpa 2, the most recent allegation that
geetha Arts' Thandel is targeting
sankranti 2025 has already infuriated a segment of superfans.
Naga Chaitanya, a non-Tier 1 celebrity, is the lead in Thandel, in contrast to
pushpa 2. Others, however, find the hype the
movie is creating annoying. It has long been believed that the setting of Thandel and the choice of
naga Chaitanya, Sai Pallavi, and filmmaker Chandoo Mondeti pose a quiet danger to this movie. A subset of die-hard fans, already irritated by Game Changer's delays and
pushpa 2's simultaneous national hype, are now focusing on Thandel's producer, Allu Aravind. Although it's not official, they accuse him of betraying Chiru.
However, Thandel isn't a
rajamouli production that would inspire dread or necessitate a solitary release, and
sankranti is a season that can easily support numerous films. Why should Shankar, a pan-Indian filmmaker, be concerned about
naga Chaitanya's Thandel in a
ram charan film that was released after RRR? However, fans experience emotional anguish about everything because they are fans.
