The first week of December is already creating plenty of excitement at the box office. Several big-ticket films are reportedly eyeing December 3 for their theatrical release, setting up an interesting battle for the crucial weekend.
With release plans changing frequently, the big question among trade circles and movie lovers is simple — who will arrive on December 3, and who will dominate the box office?
Fauzi Targeting December 3
Prabhas and Hanu Raghavapudi’s much-awaited period action drama Fauzi is currently being linked to a December 3 release.
However, there are doubts over whether the film can make it on time, mainly because of the extensive graphics and post-production work involved. If Fauzi moves out of the December 3 slot, several other big films are reportedly ready to grab the date.
Will Vishwambhara Enter the Race?
If Fauzi gets postponed, Megastar Chiranjeevi’s socio-fantasy adventure Vishwambhara could be one of the major contenders for the December 3 slot.
The makers are said to be considering a release around this date, as the film’s grand visuals and large-scale production could benefit from a strong festive atmosphere. A solo release would also give the film a better chance to maximize its box-office potential.
Young Heroes Eyeing the Same Weekend
The competition is not limited to big stars. Young heroes are also targeting the same weekend.
Naga Chaitanya’s upcoming mythological thriller Vrushakarma is reportedly being planned for December 3 or 4. The film comes with a fresh concept and has already created curiosity among Naga Chaitanya’s fans.
Meanwhile, Mass Ka Das Vishwak Sen’s Legacy and Dulquer Salmaan’s Sri Sri are also reportedly looking at December 3 or 4 for their theatrical releases. If all these films stay in the race, the first weekend of December could turn into a highly competitive box-office battle.
More Films in the December Race
Apart from these titles, films such as Dada, King 100, and Rowdy Janardhan are also said to be part of the December release race.
With so many films targeting the same period, the first week of December is already generating considerable buzz in the industry.
December 3 Could Turn Into a Major Box-Office Clash
The next few days should bring more clarity on which films will actually lock their release dates and which ones will step aside.
If Fauzi is postponed, Vishwambhara could get a clear opportunity to occupy the December 3 slot. Otherwise, the audience could witness an intense battle involving several big and medium-budget films.
Whatever happens, December 3 is shaping up to be one of the most interesting release dates in Tollywood, with a major box-office clash almost certain if multiple films stay in the race.
