From Kalisundam Raa To HanuMan: A Look At Tollywood Sankranti Clash Winners Between 2000-2024 ( Photo Credit – Twitter )

Sankranti is a major festival in the Telugu film industry. Every year, many big films are released during this time. These movies compete with each other for the top spot at the box office. Over the years, some films have stood out as the highest-grossing among other releases. Even this year, many films, including Game Changer, Sankranti Ki Vastunnam, and Daaku Maharaj, are all set to lock horns during the festive season.

As the New Year is all about new surprises and promising projects, let’s look at what 2025 has in store for us. Tfi’s highly anticipated movies start with Sankranthi releases.

The year will start with Shankar’s Game Changer, starring Ram Charan, Kiara Advani, and Sj Surya. The film’s song budget is rumoured to be 95 crores, and it is one of the highest-budget films of 2025, with many hoping for it to be a box office hit. This movie brings together the Charan-Shankar combo for the first time and is the biggest film in Dil Raju’s career.

Alongside Game-Changer movies like Daaku Maharaaj and Sankranthiki Vastunnam, which both star Balakrishna and Venkatesh Daggubati, are also generating significant excitement.

Actresses and their importance in Tfi are as good as props in the scene; they exist in the film, but are they creating an impact on the audience and bringing audiences to theatres for being eye candy and dancing divas? Yes, but do they have a memorable role? Not.

The recall value of heroines is scarce compared to the superstars they work opposite. We rarely remember actresses like Sridevi, Soundarya, Savitri, Ramya Krishnan, and now probably Anushka Shetty’s roles as being impactful.

Producers provide and pay for the artists’ accommodation, food, and other expenses, which are already known. But many are now taking this as an advantage. These actors ask only for five-star hotels, and it is said that they do not cooperate or are open to any adjustments.
