Tollywood’s Sankranthi 2026 season is already shaping up as a vibrant and competitive festival period for both actors and actresses. Among them, one actress is particularly looking to achieve a hat-trick: Meenakshi Chaudhary, who enters the new year with a strong opportunity to do so.

After her initial entry into Tollywood, Meenakshi gained significant attention when she joined the cast of Mahesh Babu’s Guntur Kaaram. Released in 2024, the film initially garnered mixed reviews but ultimately performed well at the box office.

The year 2025 saw her achieve success with Sankranthiki Vastunnam, which enjoyed blockbuster runs. Meenakshi delivered a convincing performance in her main lead role. While she hasn’t had a bigger hit since, she has consistently secured good film projects.

Her next project is Naveen Polishetty’s Ananganana Oka Raju, a romantic comedy set for a global release on January 14th. Meenakshi stars as the solo heroine in this film, and songs like Bhimavaram Balma have already captured public interest. If this film also proves successful, it would mark a historic achievement for her.

This would make Meenakshi the first heroine in recent memory to have three consecutive releases during three Pongal seasons, with all of them performing well at the box office.

Anticipation is high to see if she can achieve this remarkable feat.
