Allari Naresh's 'Alcohol' Locks December 18 Release Date After Long Delay

Allari Naresh's upcoming film 'Alcohol' is finally heading to theatres. The makers have announced December 18, 2026, as its worldwide theatrical release date. The announcement brings an end to the long wait for the film, which was initially scheduled to release on January 1, 2026.

Production house Sithara Entertainments announced the date through its official social media handle on Thursday, November 12. Sharing a new poster, the makers wrote, “The countdown to madness begins! 'Alcohol' is all set for a GRAND WORLDWIDE RELEASE ON DECEMBER 18th! Brace yourselves for a WILD ride!”

Written and directed by Meher Tej, the film features Allari Naresh in a different role. Ruhani Sharma and Niharika NM play the female leads, while comedian Satya and actors Girish Kulkarni, Harshavardhan, Chaitanya Krishna, Ravindra Vijay, Raghu Babu and Venkatesh Kakumanu appear in important roles.

The film's teaser has already offered a glimpse of its unusual story. Allari Naresh plays a man who does not drink alcohol, despite being surrounded by friends who enjoy drinking. In one scene, Satya questions him about his decision. Naresh's character says he does not want alcohol to control him.

However, the story takes a dark turn when his character plans a party for his friends. The teaser hints at a crime-filled story, with Naresh making a shocking statement about the people attending the party. This has raised questions about what is really behind the gathering.

The film is produced by Suryadevara Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya under Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas. Srikara Studios is presenting it. Ghibran is composing the music, while Chaitan Bharadwaj is handling the background score.

With its new release date confirmed, 'Alcohol' will now be one of the December theatrical releases. The film also marks another attempt by Allari Naresh to connect with audiences through a different story and role.
