Sharwanand faces clash as two films near release

Sharwanand Sankranti

Telugu actor Sharwanand finds himself in a tricky position as two of his films are slated for release at nearly the same time. The actor is currently working on three projects, and two of them are now unintentionally pitted against each other at the year’s end.

One of the films, Nari Nari Nadu-Mumuri (directed by Ram Abbaraju), is locked for a Sankranti release window. A poster and a song from the film have already been released, indicating that the team is preparing for the festive release.

Meanwhile, Biker—directed by Abhilash Reddy Kankara—is also fixed to release on 6 December. Described as a bike-race backdrop film, Biker has generated curiosity among fans, especially since trailers present it as unlike any other film on the Indian screen.

Having two of his films scheduled so close together is raising concerns among insiders. Some rumours suggest that Nari Nari Nadu-Mumuri may be postponed to avoid clashing with Biker, especially since the Sankranti window already has big titles lined up, including films featuring major stars such as Prabhas and Ravi Teja.

Even though both films could attract audiences, there is worry that releasing them so near to one another might affect Sharwanand’s career momentum.

Adding to the mix is a third project with actor Sampath Nandi titled Bhogi, which is also earning buzz. Early reactions to it have been positive.

In short, while Sharwanand is clearly busy in Tollywood with multiple films releasing and growing anticipation, the overlapping release dates are turning into a headache for both the actor and his team.
