It’s clear that the decision to release “Pushpa 2” on December 6th will impact the plans of other movies eyeing December 2024. Now, Nandamuri Balakrishna aims to secure December 20th for his film #NBK109, directed by Bobby Kolli, adding to the scheduling confusion.
Young heroes like Naga Chaitanya and Nithin, struggling to find box office success, had already announced December 20th as their release date. However, with Allu Arjun and Balakrishna targeting these dates, one of these films may need to adjust to avoid being squeezed at the box office between two big releases. If “Pushpa 2” and #NBK109 succeed, other movies might only find space after Sankranthi 2025.
Given the scale of these projects, “Thandel” and “Robinhood” (Nithin’s reunion with Venky Kudumula) both require optimal release dates to maximize their box office potential. The confirmed dates of Allu Arjun and Balakrishna could potentially disrupt the prospects of these other films.
Meanwhile, “Game Changer” is also preparing for a December 20th release. Depending on its readiness, #NBK109 might consider moving to Sankranthi 2025. The situation remains fluid, and we’ll have to wait and see how it unfolds.
