Telugu cinema fans have plenty to look forward to in 2026, with a packed lineup of big-ticket films scheduled throughout the year. The year is expected to begin on a festive note with The Raja Saab, slated for a January 9, 2026 release during the Sankranthi season. Close on its heels is Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, which is also expected to hit theatres on January 12 as a festival release.

February 2026 will see the release of Swayambhu, starring Nikhil Siddhartha in a warrior role. Directed by Bharat Krishnamachari, the film features Samyuktha Menon and Nabha Natesh as the female leads and is generating decent buzz ahead of its release.

March is shaping up to be one of the busiest and most competitive months of the year. Decoit, starring Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur and directed by Shaneil Deo, is expected to arrive in mid-March. This will be followed by a major box-office clash on March 26, with Ram Charan’s Peddi, directed by Sana Butchi Babu, releasing alongside Nani’s The Paradise, helmed by Srikanth Odela. Adding to the heat, Ustaad Bhagat Singh, starring Pawan Kalyan and directed by Harish Shankar, is also slated for release during this season.

March will also witness the arrival of the biggest release of the year, Dhurandhar 2, in its Telugu version. Though not a direct Tollywood production, the film is expected to create a massive impact and significantly shake up the box office in the Telugu states.

The summer season may bring Vishwambhara, starring Chiranjeevi, around June 2026, although the final release date is yet to be locked. Meanwhile, the much-talked-about project featuring Nandamuri Balakrishna and Gopichand under the direction of Hanu Raghavapudi remains uncertain, depending on production progress, making it a project to watch closely.

One notable point is that some of Tollywood’s biggest stars — Allu Arjun, Mahesh Babu, and Jr NTR — are not expected to grace the box office in 2026, making the year particularly interesting as it relies on a diverse mix of stars, directors, and high-concept films to drive audience excitement.
