Megastar Chiranjeevi’s big-budget fantasy epic Vishwambhara has hit yet another roadblock.
Originally expected to arrive in early 2025, the highly anticipated film is now being pushed even further, with industry buzz pointing to an April 2026 release.
The Reason Behind the Delay
The primary reason is the extensive CGI and VFX work. With a massive fantasy setup and world-building that demands cutting-edge visuals, the film’s post-production team is reportedly struggling to keep up with deadlines.
Insiders say the makers don’t want to rush the process and compromise on quality, especially given the high expectations surrounding the film.
What We Know So Far
Directed by Vassishta of Bimbisara fame, Vishwambhara is billed as one of Tollywood’s most ambitious projects.
The film promises grand visuals, elaborate action sequences, and a mythological-meets-fantasy narrative designed to appeal to pan-India audiences.
With Chiranjeevi leading the project, backed by UV Creations, the stakes are massive. Industry circles confirm that while portions of live-action shooting are progressing smoothly, the sheer scale of VFX-heavy sequences has forced the makers to reconsider release timelines.
Impact of the Delay
Fans who were hoping to see the Megastar back on the big screen sooner will now have to wait longer.
The new April 2026 timeline aligns with the summer holiday season, a prime window for big-ticket blockbusters. Trade analysts believe this could help the film maximize box office potential despite the delay.
The Road Ahead
Even with the setback, Vishwambhara remains one of the most awaited Telugu films in recent memory. With Chiranjeevi at the helm and grand fantasy elements at play, the makers are betting that audiences will find the wait worthwhile.
