Chiranjeevi recently watched a key 45-minute VFX-heavy portion from the film and was reportedly quite pleased with the output.
He has assured the team that he will soon allot dates to complete the remaining patchwork and shoot the item number featuring Mouni Roy.

The team is currently aiming for a September 18 release. However, there are ongoing rumors that Pawan Kalyan's OG might release on September 25. There's also talk that Akhanda 2 may join the September 25 race.
Currently, only OG has finalized its theatrical and OTT deals. If OG sticks to its September 25 release date, it's likely that the other two films - Vishwambhara and Akhanda 2 - may avoid clashing and shift their dates.

Adding to the pressure, Kantara 2 is expected to arrive on October 2.
Right now, Vishwambhara is struggling with a hype crash. Despite having a strong cast, including Trisha and Ashika Ranganath, and being backed by UV Creations, the film hasn't managed to excite the audience like a big-budget Chiranjeevi fantasy should.
Vishwambhara's teaser damaged the BO prospects of the film a lot. It drew heavy negativity online and hurt the overall buzz around the film. Some reports say it even delayed OTT deal discussions.
What was supposed to kick off a grand promotional campaign ended up doing the opposite - creating doubt among fans and the trade.
The next piece of promotional content - whether it's a trailer, a new song, or a glimpse - must make a big impact. Anything generic or forgettable might damage the film's chances even before release.
All attention is now on the film's next promotional move. With Chiranjeevi's birthday falling on August 22, fans are hoping for a solid trailer drop to wipe off the negative perception surrounding Vishwambhara.
However, there may be a clash of attention on August 22. Director Anil Ravipudi is also planning to reveal the title of his new project Mega 157 on the same day. This could split the focus among fans.
If the Vishwambhara trailer isn't ready by then, the team might miss out on the perfect opportunity to rebuild hype using Chiranjeevi's birthday.
Vishwambhara badly needs a turnaround moment. Only a strong and emotionally gripping trailer or a mind-blowing chartbuster can shift the mood, bring back interest, and convince people that the film still has something magical to offer.
If that doesn't happen soon, the film may face a tougher road ahead at the box office.
