Mouli, who became popular with the successful film Little Hearts, is now preparing for his next movie Donga Naa Koduku. The film is expected to reach theatres on September 4, 2026.
Interestingly, this date comes close to the release period of Little Hearts, which proved to be a big success for Mouli last year.
Because of his previous film’s success, there is already some curiosity around Donga Naa Koduku. The makers are also trying different ways to promote the movie and attract young viewers. The film is expected to offer a fresh story and entertainment, which could help it connect with the youth audience.
However, the September 4 release date may not be completely easy for Donga Naa Koduku. Anand Deverakonda and Vaishnavi Chaitanya’s upcoming film EPIC is reportedly considering an earlier release. The movie was earlier expected to arrive on September 11, but there are reports that the makers may move it forward by one week.
If EPIC also releases on September 4, both films will directly compete at the box office. This could create an interesting situation because both movies are expected to attract a similar young audience. When two films aimed at the same group release together, they usually compete for screens, show timings and audience attention.
The clash could also have an impact on the opening collections of both movies. A strong advance booking for one film could affect the number of shows available for the other. At the same time, positive word of mouth could help either movie perform well despite the competition.
For now, the release date of EPIC has not been officially confirmed as September 4. The makers are yet to make a final announcement about the reported change.
If the date is changed, Donga Naa Koduku and EPIC could become one of the interesting youth-oriented clashes of September. Both films have their own expectations, and the audience response will decide which movie gets the bigger advantage.
For now, movie lovers are waiting to see whether the two films will really arrive on the same day.
