Sankranthi 2026 is shaping up to be a thrilling cinematic celebration with three big-ticket releases, Jana Nayagan, The Raja Saab, and Parasakthi , gearing up to clash at the box office. Thalapathy Vijay's swan song Jana Nayagan, Prabhas starrer The Raja Saab, and Sivakarthikeyan's Parasakthi will fight it out for screen counts and audience attention.
The hype around Sankranthi releases is at its peak, with Jana Nayagan leading the trend with 302K+ interests on BookMyShow, followed by The Raja Saab (281K+) and Parasakthi (238K+). Overseas markets are already feeling the heat, with Jana Nayagan leading North American advance bookings nearing $350K.
The Raja Saab's director, Maruthi, has staked his reputation on the film, while Jana Nayagan is arguably the most emotional release of the season, with expectations sky high for Vijay's final film before entering politics. Parasakthi, set against the backdrop of the 1960s anti Hindi agitations, is an important release for Sivakarthikeyan and National Award-winning director Sudha Kongara.
As the industry prepares for the Sankranthi 2026 rollout, all eyes are on whether the screens can accommodate the massive fan demand for all three superstars. With presales underway, the battle for box office supremacy is heating up, and fans are eagerly waiting to see which film will emerge victorious.
