Bhogi postponed again: Sharwanand’s 1960s action drama misses its November release, new date to follow

Sharwanand’s Bhogi will not reach cinemas as planned. Sri Sathya Sai Arts, the production house behind the film, announced on X on Wednesday evening, 11 November, that the period drama had been pushed back because of unforeseen delays. With Bhogi postponed, the banner said it would name a fresh release date shortly.

The period action drama had been lined up for the second week of November. The statement offered no further reason. It urged fans to ignore guesswork about the release, apologised for the disruption and promised that the film would justify the wait.

The setback follows another one four days earlier. On Saturday, 7 November, director Sampath Nandi called off the film’s pre-release and trailer event, citing technical issues. By late Wednesday night, no trailer had been posted on the production house’s official YouTube channel, where the most recent Bhogi upload is dated 31 October.

Second date to slip in 2026

This is the second release date the film has missed in 2026. When the makers unveiled Sharwanand’s first look on 25 February, they announced a worldwide opening on 28 August, in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi.

Sampath Nandi has written and directed the film, which is set in the late 1960s along the border of north Telangana and Maharashtra. Anupama Parameswaran and Dimple Hayathi play the female leads, Bheems Ceciroleo has composed the music, and K.K. Radhamohan is producing it under the Sri Sathya Sai Arts banner. It is Sharwanand’s 38th film.

Two songs from the album are already out. The second, Annayya Paanam Lo Poosina Puvvulu, a number about the bond between a brother and his sister, was launched at the Vijayawada Utsav on 19 October.

The banner has not said when it will name the new date.
