Been there in December last year. It was quite barren though at that time. Have to take a detour for around 10kms from the main road.

Uploading is quite slow and is failing at times.

Chances of opening are high.
Let's wait two more days.

I don't think dam Gates will be opening this year.
May be we will get some clarity by this weekend.

Quoting times of India article dated 4th October.

HYDERABAD: Giving relief to both states, water level in the Srisailam reservoir is fast reaching full reservoir level (FRL). For the first time in the current year, the dam is receiving huge inflows from Jurala. Following copious rains in the upper Krishna basin, Srisailam has been receiving more than one lakh cusecs of flood water every day for the last few days.The water level at the dam has reached 880 feet against the FRL of 885 feet. According to irrigation officials, if the present flood continues for another two days, the reservoir will be full.

Agree with your point.
But lets wait for two more days before we get to the conclusion.
