Venky, Charan, and Balayya Go Head-to-Head Again

In a notable turn of events, the Telugu film industry is set for another exciting clash as three major stars—Venkatesh, Ram Charan, and Nandamuri Balakrishna—are releasing their films around the same time once again. This rivalry mirrors the 2019 Sankranti season when their films F2, NTR Biopic, and Vinaya Vidheya Rama competed at the box office.

Fast forward to 2025, and the stars are back with new projects. Venkatesh will be seen in Anil Ravipudi’s Sankrantiki Vastunnam, while Ram Charan is gearing up for Shankar’s Game Changer and Balakrishna is set to release KS Bobby’s #NBK109. The competition is heating up as these films are expected to attract large audiences during the Sankranti festival, a popular time for movie releases in India.

The 2019 clash saw mixed results for the films involved, with F2 emerging as a significant hit. As the industry gears up for this new showdown, fans are eagerly anticipating how each film will perform against the others. While Venky-Anil are proven combo, Game Changer is a super high budgeted flick of Charan and Shankar, while Balayya banks on the high octane content crafted by Bobby. We have to see who will score.
