‘DC’ got an A, then the date
Sun Pictures said DC — Arun Matheswaran directing, Lokesh Kanagaraj starring — was certified ‘A’ and would open worldwide on August 7. It also named the AP–Telangana and Kerala–Karnataka distributors. The industry did the usual calendar dance; the paperwork stayed promotional.
The film’s release date was moved from July 31 to August 7, while certification and Telangana screen plans remained publicly unverified.
Sun Pictures announced DC had an ‘A’ certificate and would release worldwide on August 7, 2026. The same week it named Asian Suresh Entertainment for Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, and Gokulam Movies for Kerala and Karnataka — the two territories that always tell you who really plans to show up in the Telugu states.
Arun Matheswaran directs; Lokesh Kanagaraj debuts as lead, playing Devadas, with Wamiqa Gabbi as Chandra. Anirudh Ravichander is on the music, according to the makers’ rollout repeated across trade coverage. The film was earlier marked for July 31 before shifting to August 7 — a standard shuffle dressed up as strategy. The “worldwide” part is the banner’s line; it confirms intent, not a screen count.
What isn’t in the public record: a CBFC certificate number, cuts, runtime, or audited screen plans for Telangana. The certification exists as a makers’ statement echoed by reports, not a searchable CBFC entry we could independently pull. Which is par for the course: producers announce, trades amplify, and viewers in Telangana find out what’s actually playing when the showtimes go up.
