This is a unique situation where the competition among films during the Sankranthi race has extended to the pre-release event dates.
Initially, the pre-release function for 'Guntur Kaaram' was planned for the 6th of this month based on the producer's sentiment. Unfortunately, police permission was not granted.
The 'Hanu-Man' function was scheduled for the 7th, considering the plan for the 'Guntur Kaaram' function on the 6th. This event is set to take place in Hyderabad, with Megastar Chiranjeevi as the chief guest.
Similarly, Venkatesh's 'Saindhav' is organizing a function on the 7th in Visakhapatnam.
While it's natural for fans to attend any function of their favorite stars, the challenge arises when all these functions are happening simultaneously, both on TV and YouTube.
Naturally, the Mahesh-Trivikram movie draws significant interest, leading channels and YouTube to prioritize its coverage.
However, 'Guntur Kaaram' has limited options due to the initial plan for the 6th, a Saturday, being denied permission.
Shifting to the 8th isn't viable as it falls on a Monday, a non-holiday. Therefore, regardless of opinions, the only feasible option is to proceed with the function on the 7th.
Meanwhile, Hanu-Man and Saindhav have one alternative—celebrating their functions slightly earlier without clashing with the 'Guntur Kaaram' Live.
Every big film feels the need for star-anchoring by Suma. She is anchoring the 'Hanuman' event this time.
