The Sankranthiki Vasthunam Phenomenon
Before diving into what’s next, understanding the success of the latest new movie of Venkatesh provides crucial context. Released January 14, 2025, this Anil Ravipudi directorial became Tollywood’s biggest Sankranthi winner despite fierce competition from Game Changer and Daaku Maharaaj.
The film grossed over ₹258–300 crore worldwide and emerged as the second-highest grossing Telugu film of the year. Its OTT debut on ZEE5 (March 1, 2025) shattered records with 200 million viewing minutes in just 48 hours, proving Venkatesh’s enduring audience appeal across platforms.
What Makes the Next New Movie of Venkatesh Exciting?
Malli Sankranthiki Vasthunam (2027): The sequel announcement came immediately after the original’s success. After the success of Sankranthiki Vasthunam, Ravipudi planned a sequel named Malli Sankranthiki Vasthunam. This marks the fourth collaboration between Venkatesh and Anil Ravipudi after F2, F3, and Sankranthiki Vasthunam—a partnership that’s delivered consistent box office gold.
Trivikram Collaboration: This represents Venkatesh’s first full-fledged project with master storyteller Trivikram Srinivas. At NATS 2025, Venkatesh confirmed this collaboration, exciting fans who’ve long wanted to see his comic timing paired with Trivikram’s dialogue mastery.
MEGA 157 Cameo: Sharing screen space with Megastar Chiranjeevi in Bobby Kolli’s directorial, Venkatesh promised fans “that’s gonna be a fun one!” This special appearance reunites two Telugu cinema legends.
Balakrishna Collaboration: Perhaps the most anticipated among upcoming projects, Venkatesh teased “the biggest one will be with my friend Balayya!” at NATS 2025. Though details remain scarce, this potential collaboration has already generated massive buzz.
The Surender Reddy Factor
Reports suggest Venkatesh may team with director Surender Reddy (Agent fame) for an action-packed entertainer produced by Nallamalupu Bujji. This collaboration could offer Venkatesh opportunities to explore intense action territory, contrasting his recent comedy-heavy projects.

FAQs
Will the new movie of Venkatesh with Trivikram be a comedy like his recent films?
While Trivikram excels at comedy, he’s equally skilled at emotional family dramas like Athadu and Julai. Given Venkatesh’s versatility, this collaboration could blend both elements—witty dialogues with emotional depth. Trivikram’s forte lies in creating layered characters, which could showcase different dimensions of Venkatesh’s acting range beyond pure comedy.
Why is Venkatesh doing so many sequels and franchise films?
The success formula is simple: Venkatesh’s F2 and F3 collaboration with Anil Ravipudi created a proven franchise that audiences trust. Sankranthiki Vasthunam’s ₹250 crore+ collection reinforced this strategy. Sequels offer built-in audience anticipation while allowing creative teams to refine successful formulas. However, his diverse slate with Trivikram, Chiranjeevi cameo, and potential Balakrishna collaboration shows he’s balancing franchises with fresh experiments.
