Hyderabad: The first half of 2024 has been unusually quiet for the Telugu film industry, one of the biggest in India. With no major releases from big stars and only a handful of releases and hits, the industry has seen a significant slowdown. This lull in activity is attributed to two major events that have gripped the nation’s attention: the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the 2024 general elections.
The IPL, a cricketing extravaganza, has impacted movie attendance, particularly affecting evening and night shows. The elections, on the other hand, have created a political wave, especially in Andhra Pradesh, leading to a cautious approach from producers regarding movie releases.
Consequently, many films have been rescheduled for the latter half of the year, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the release of several big-budget movies.
Here’s a list of the release dates of Tollywood’s upcoming biggies.
