Telugu actor Sree Vishnu may soon find himself in a situation that most actors prefer to avoid — a box office clash with himself. Industry buzz suggests that two of his upcoming films are currently aiming for the same release date, February 27, 2026.
While clashes between films starring different actors are common, a scenario where an actor’s own films compete against each other at the box office is rare and risky, both commercially and strategically.
Mrithyunjay Locks February 27
The makers of Mrithyunjay have officially announced February 27 as the film’s theatrical release date. The announcement has already created curiosity among fans, with the team beginning promotional activities around the same.
The film is expected to showcase Sree Vishnu in a distinct role, continuing his reputation for choosing content-driven and unconventional scripts.
VishnuVinyasam Also Eyeing the Same Date
Adding to the intrigue, sources indicate that the team behind VishnuVinyasam is also targeting the very same February 27 release window. Though an official announcement is yet to be made, strong internal discussions have reportedly taken place regarding the date.
This has raised concerns within trade circles, as simultaneous releases could divide screens, audiences, and promotional focus.
Talks Underway to Avoid the Clash
Industry insiders reveal that negotiations are currently ongoing between the respective teams to avoid a direct clash. Producers are said to be exploring alternative dates, keeping in mind distribution logistics, theatre availability, and audience reach.
Given Sree Vishnu’s growing market and loyal audience base, releasing two films on the same day could dilute box office potential for both projects.
A Rare and Unwanted Scenario
Trade analysts describe this as “a clash no actor wishes for,” as it forces audiences to choose between two films featuring the same lead actor, often impacting opening numbers and long-term collections.
Fans, meanwhile, are hopeful that the issue will be resolved amicably, allowing both films to enjoy their own space and promotional runway.
Final Word Awaited
With February 27 fast approaching, clarity is expected soon from one or both production teams. Until then, the possibility of Sree Vishnu competing against himself remains one of the most talked-about developments in Telugu cinema this season.
