But when Chiranjeevi’s name pops up again, fans know it’s not just a buzz. The megastar’s team has officially cleared the air: Kaaka will hit screens on Sankranthi 2027, January 13, 2027, the same day the festival rolls around.
That marks a reunion with director Bobby Kolli, whose last outing Waltair Veerayya left audiences craving more. In Kaaka, Chiranjeevi plays K Satyam, a humble aqua‑industry supervisor who’s as grounded as they come. The character’s everyday struggles promise a new slice of the star’s on‑screen humanity.
The first glimpse dropped on August 22, Chiranjeevi’s birthday, and it was a cocktail of drama and surprises. A pet‑dog, a lost scooter key, and a magnet‑pull scene turned a mundane office visit into a visual punch. The clip ends with the title “Kaaka” flashing, hinting at the film’s quirky tone. The teaser also teased a first single that’s due to drop next week, adding a musical hook to the buzz.
With the release date locked, marketing teams are already setting up a cross‑continental rollout that will sync the Indian and global screens. Fans will also watch out for Vishwambhara, which still has no confirmed date but is rumored to follow Kaaka’s success. All in all, Kaaka is shaping up to be a festival‑season staple that blends Chiranjeevi’s charisma with a fresh narrative.
