Dulquer Salmaan’s next Telugu outing, Sri Sri, is once again making headlines, this time with its potential release date adding to the buzz around the December release calendar. Directed by newcomer Ravi Nelakuditi, the film stars Pooja Hegde as the female lead.

The latest trade buzz suggests that Sri Sri is targeting a December 4, 2026 release, just a day after Prabhas’ Fauzi, which is locked for December 3. With Legacy also confirming December 4, the crowded release window has once again sparked speculation about a possible postponement of Fauzi. If Sri Sri indeed locks December 4, all eyes will be on how the release plans of these major films eventually shape up.

For Sri Sri, the release date is only one part of the equation. The promotional campaign has been relatively quiet so far, with just a song released to date. If the makers are serious about arriving on December 4, they will need to step up the promotions and build stronger momentum in the coming weeks.

The film carries additional interest as it brings Dulquer Salmaan and Pooja Hegde together for the first time on screen. Produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri under the SLV Cinemas banner, Sri Sri has music composed by GV Prakash Kumar and marks an important Telugu outing for Dulquer. With the December 4 race beginning to take shape, the film’s next promotional moves will be closely watched.
