Vijay Deverakonda is going through a rough patch and is in dire need of a big hit. He has pinned his hopes on his next film, Rowdy Janadharana, a gangster action drama. Directed by Ravi Kiran Kola, the film’s glimpse was launched yesterday, and it promises a rustic narrative packed with bloodshed. Keerthy Suresh plays the female lead, and reports suggest that the makers are eyeing a Christmas 2026 theatrical release.
On the other hand, Natural Star Nani is also said to be planning the release of his film with Sujeeth around the same time. After wrapping up the shoot of The Paradise, Nani will move on to Sujeeth’s project, which is also a gangster drama with a comic touch.
Among Tier-2 heroes, Nani and Vijay Deverakonda enjoy a strong following, and if their films do clash at the box office, it will certainly be interesting to watch. That said, there is still plenty of time, and with the industry’s constantly shifting release calendars, a clash is not guaranteed as of now.
