The makers of director Uday Sharma’s upcoming family drama ‘Sahakutumbaanaam,’ featuring actors Raam Kiran and Megha Akash in lead roles, have announced yet another postponement of the film’s release.
This time, the film is set to release in January next year. Initially scheduled to debut on December 12, the release was moved to December 19 to allow actor Nandamuri Balakrishna’s ‘Akhanda 2’ to “roar, dominate and create unstoppable mass celebrations.”
HNG Cinemas, the production house behind ‘Sahakutumbaanaam,’ released a statement explaining their decision: “We planned ‘Sahakutumbaanaam’ for a December 12th release, but when Balayya garu’s ‘Akhanda 2’ shifted to the same date, we felt only pride and respect. As admirers of Nandamuri Balakrishna garu, we want his film to roar, dominate, and create unstoppable mass celebrations. So with due respect, love, and complete goodwill, we are postponing our film to December 19th.”
In their statement, the production house emphasized, “Some decisions are not business… they are emotion. We believe cinema is a festival and Balayya garu’s film deserves its full fireworks. We hope our audience understands this gesture and supports us with even more affection. Let’s celebrate both films together: Akhanda 2 – December 12th, Sahakutumbaanaam – December 19th – Proud admirers & makers of ‘Sahakutumbaanaam.’”
However, now, with just a day remaining before the film’s release, the makers have decided to postpone it once more due to a shortage of available theatres.
HNG Cinemas took to their X timeline to announce: “A little more wait, a lot more love. #Sahakutumbaanam arriving this January. The wait will be worth it.” They further stated, “Due to unforeseen theatre-related issues, the release of ‘Sahakutumbaanaam’ has been postponed to January. At present, we are receiving very limited theatre availability, and we believe it’s important to release the film in the right manner so it can reach the audience it truly deserves. We sincerely thank everyone for the immense love, patience, and support you’ve shown us. A NEW RELEASE DATE will be announced very soon. WE PROMISE THE WAIT WILL BE WORTH IT.”
