According to a report by Pinkvilla, the makers are currently targeting a grand theatrical release in December 2027. The report also states that major shooting portions featuring Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, and Sai Pallavi are expected to be completed by April 2027 before the film enters a lengthy post-production phase due to its extensive VFX work and massive scale.
