Cineworld lists Epic – First Semester for a UK release on September 11.

Telugu film Epic – First Semester has a UK theatrical listing on Cineworld for September 11, 2026 — giving its diaspora audience a confirmed cinema access point, if not yet a reason to print collection figures.

The 150-minute film stars Anand Deverakonda, Vaishnavi Chaitanya and Sivaji, with Aditya Haasan credited as writer-director. The official Sithara Entertainments channel identifies Suryadevara Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya as producers, with Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas as the banners.

The film follows a middle-class student studying abroad amid family expectations, romance and questions of identity. Cineworld lists it as a 12A world-cinema release and provides a booking option. It does not disclose the number of UK venues, screens, shows, advance bookings or collections. The makers’ promotional material calls September 11 a worldwide release date, while a separate database carries a conflicting September 3 date. The calendar, unlike film publicity, has not been asked to perform a dance number.

For now, the record supports a UK listing. It does not support calling this a wide release or a commercial hit.
