Two Telugu films are listed for release on September 11.
Telugu cinema has scheduled two films for September 11, 2026: Sumanth’s Mahendragiri Varahi and Anand Deverakonda–Vaishnavi Chaitanya’s Epic – First Semester. The calendar, unlike some governments, has committed to a date.
Mahendragiri Varahi, directed by Santhossh Jagarlapudi, is described as a socio-fantasy spiritual mystery involving a generational curse tied to Goddess Varahi. A report says the film has received a U/A certificate from the CBFC, though no certificate number, certificate date or public Board record was available in the material reviewed. Its runtime is still to be announced. (123telugu.com)
Epic – First Semester, directed and written by Wanaparthy native Aditya Haasan, is set around students in the UK. AMC describes it as a coming-of-age romantic drama about first love, family expectations and finding oneself abroad. Vaishnavi Chaitanya has said the film centres on private conversations between two students with different mindsets. (amctheatres.com) (metroindia.net)
One film brings a 150-year curse. The other brings student conversations. Both arrive on the same Friday, leaving audiences to decide which paperwork they prefer.
