The trailer for Sundeep Kishan’s upcoming fantasy drama “Ooru Peru Bhairavakona” was launched today, sparking both excitement and a question about its release date. Scheduled to hit theatres on February 9th, 2024, the film finds itself unexpectedly sharing the same release date with Ravi Teja’s highly anticipated ‘Eagle.’
Initially, “Ooru Peru Bhairavakona” aimed for a Sankranti release but opted out due to the intense competition during the festive season. February 9th then seemed like a suitable alternative, already confirmed for ‘Tillu Square.’ However, communication between the respective teams regarding potential schedule conflicts appears to have been lacking.
“We did not receive any calls before announcing the ‘Eagle’ release date,” revealed Sundeep Kishan at the trailer launch. He expressed respect for Ravi Teja and acknowledged the existing relationship between their director and Ravi Teja from their previous collaboration. While admitting the possibility of an oversight, Sundeep emphasized the challenges of altering the release date at this advanced stage, citing the significant time and effort already invested in the film.
“We worked very hard for over two years and fixed 9th February as the perfect time for release. We will have a lot of problems if we back out,” explained Sundeep.
With both films adamant about their February 9th release, an unexpected clash on the box office horizon becomes inevitable. This unforeseen situation puts audiences in a predicament, forced to choose between two promising Telugu films releasing on the same day.
However, it’s important to note that the genre and target audiences for both films might differ slightly. While “Ooru Peru Bhairavakona” leans towards fantasy drama, “Eagle” promises action-packed entertainment. This could potentially divide the audience into distinct camps, minimizing the direct competition factor.
Ultimately, the success of both films will depend on their individual merits and marketing strategies. Whether the February 9th clash proves beneficial or detrimental for either remains to be seen. One thing is certain: both “Ooru Peru Bhairavakona” and “Eagle” have sparked considerable interest, and audiences eagerly await their arrival on the silver screen.
