Sankranthi Turns Sizzling With Heroines’ Fierce Fashion Fight

Sankranthi in Tollywood is always a war of heroes, but 2026 is shaping up differently. This time, the heroines are stealing the spotlight. From seasoned queens to rising stars, the lineup looks like a fashion and glamour parade ready to set the box office on fire.

The stage opens with Malavika Mohanan, Nidhi Agarwal, and Riddhi Kumar in Raja Saab, releasing January 9. For all three, it’s a high-stakes release. On the other side, Nayanthara pairs with Megastar Chiranjeevi in Anil Ravipudi’s festive family entertainer. Known for keeping away from promotions, Nayan surprised everyone by joining the publicity drive right from day one, showing how important this film is for her.

Meenakshi Chaudhary is entering Sankranthi with confidence. Her last two festival releases turned into blockbusters, and trade circles are already betting on her streak continuing. Samyuktha Menon and Sakshi Vaidya are set to appear in Sharwanand’s Nari Nari Nadu Murari, while Aashika Ranganath joins Ravi Teja in Kishore Tirumala’s project. Each actress is bringing her own edge to the crowded festive race.

Adding more heat, dubbed films may join the fight, with Pooja Hegde, Trisha, Mamita Baiju, and Sreeleela expected to enter the Pongal race through Tamil crossovers. With this many names in the ring, Sankranthi won’t just be about big-hero clashes anymore. The real curiosity is, which heroine will rule the festival box office and grab the audience’s cheers?
