Chiranjeevi and director Bobby Kolli are coming together again after the success of Waltair Veerayya. Their new film, Kaaka, is targeting a Sankranthi release on January 13, 2027. The makers have once again confirmed the date through a special Diwali poster featuring Chiranjeevi yesterday holding a sickle amid heavy rain and green fields.
However, confirming the release date is not enough. Rumors about Kaaka’s release have surfaced several times in recent months, forcing the team to issue repeated clarifications. Meanwhile, uncertainty surrounding Chiranjeevi’s much-delayed Vishwambhara coming on the same January 13 date continues, with no clear update from UV Creations. There is also talk among fans that Kaaka’s promotions are being kept low-key because of this confusion.
But the film cannot afford to remain silent for too long. Anil Ravipudi, who is also in the Sankranthi race, has been sharing regular shooting updates and keeping audiences informed about his film, January 12 Vidudala. Kaaka needs a similar promotional push to build excitement.
Thaman has indicated that the first song will be launched in the US in December, with Chiranjeevi expected to attend. The film is said to have only four songs, including one designed to showcase Chiranjeevi‘s vintage dance moves. The first single is expected to be announced soon.
Chiranjeevi is currently balancing the remaining shoot with his Netflix Megaverse talk show commitments. He is expected to become available for Kaaka promotions from the third week of December.
With Anaswara Rajan, Nivetha Pethuraj and Anurag Kashyap playing key roles, expectations are high. KVN Productions also needs a big success after a series of pan-India setbacks like Toxic and Haiwaan. Bobby Kolli has a massive responsibility on his shoulders. Now, the makers need to turn their repeated release-date confirmations into a strong promotional campaign.
