The release of Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, a period film starring Chiranjeevi in the lead, has confirmed that it will be a 2019 release! The film will be a summer release, with less than a year to go. According to The Times of India, most filmmakers believe that a summer release is good for films considering this year, movies like Rangasthalam and Mahanati did well.
