There has been a significant reshuffle in the Summer 2026 release calendar, with several major Telugu films adjusting their theatrical plans. Ram Charan’s Peddi has stepped away from its previously announced release date, while Nani’s The Paradise has also moved out of its planned March window.

At the same time, the makers of Ustaad Bhagat Singh have resumed promotions, strongly indicating an early summer release. Although the exact release dates of these three high-profile films are yet to be officially announced, it is now clear that all of them are firmly eyeing a Summer 2026 theatrical release.

An interesting factor this time is the complete absence of pressure from OTT commitments. Unlike in 2025, when non-theatrical deals often dictated release timelines, leading streaming platforms have already locked in the digital rights of major Telugu films well in advance this year. Netflix has reportedly acquired the OTT rights for Ustaad Bhagat Singh, Peddi, and The Paradise.

If Chiranjeevi’s Vishwambhara also enters the summer race, it is expected to face no hurdles on the OTT front either. With Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu turning into a massive hit, the film’s digital deal is likely to be finalized soon.

As things stand, the Summer 2026 big releases appear to be completely free from non-theatrical pressures, giving makers greater flexibility to choose the most favorable release windows.
