Most Wanted! Balayya Vs Chiranjeevi Again?

It is already known that Nandamuri Balakrishna and megastar Chiranjeevi share an indirect rivalry, which has transcended into a Mega versus Nandamuri show of power. It can also be noted that these two stars historically clashed at the box office during festival seasons.

The latest news is that Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna could be coming together for another box office clash sooner than many people expected, and the same is happening now.

As per the latest reports, megastar Chiranjeevi and Nandamuri Balakrishna could be clashing at the box office during the 2026 Sankranti season.

Chiranjeevi has the film with Anil Ravipudi, which is currently in the production stage, and it is preparing for release next Sankranti season. This film has great prospect, considering the fact that it marks the collaboration of Chiranjeevi and Anil.

And on the other hand, we have Nandamuri Balakrishna, who is also lining up the Sankranthi slot for his own film with Boyapati Srinu. This project is none other than Akhanda 2. Considering the combination value and also the sequel height and advantage, this film is also expected to grow big at the box office.

The last time Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna Kailash at the box office, we saw Waltair Veerayya and Veera Simha Reddy. We could be witnessing a similar box office clash again during the 2026 Sankranti season, if these two newly mentioned films arrive at the box office.

Considering the combinations and the sequel advantages of these two films, they are nearly matched on paper and the winner is going to walk away with the bragging rights.
