Chiranjeevi’s upcoming project, tentatively known as “Mega 157,” has been generating significant excitement in the Tollywood film industry since its announcement. There are several compelling reasons for the high anticipation surrounding this film. Firstly, the director, Vasishta, who previously delivered a blockbuster with “Bimbisara,” is now at the helm of this project, directing the Megastar for the first time. This collaboration has set expectations soaring. Another noteworthy aspect is that “Mega 157” is rumored to be a fantasy film. Chiranjeevi has a strong track record in the fantasy genre, particularly with his blockbuster “Jagadeka Veerudu Atiloka Sundari.”
Initially, there were reports suggesting that “Mega 157” was a sequel to Chiranjeevi’s iconic “Jagadeka Veerudu Atiloka Sundari.” However, the makers clarified that the only common factor between the two films is Chiranjeevi himself, and there is no direct connection between the two. Currently, there are speculations about the film’s storyline. It is rumored that the movie will be set in three different worlds, combining elements of love, romance, and fantasy. There is also talk about the film’s official title, with “Mulloka Veerudu” being considered. The cast is expected to include three actresses, and names like Anushka Shetty, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and Mrunal Thakur have been associated with the project as potential female leads.
Meanwhile, Director Vasishta assures that Chiranjeevi’s character in the film has been intricately crafted, promising an exciting cinematic experience for the audience. The director has been teasing the audience with concept posters that highlight the film’s fantasy element, ensuring it captures the attention of all film enthusiasts.
The production of “Mega 157” is in the capable hands of UV Creations, and the team is reportedly working tirelessly to complete the film for a grand Sankranthi release in 2025. Shooting is scheduled to commence in the first week of November and conclude by the last week of April 2024. The music for “Mega 157” will be composed by the Oscar-winning music maestro MM Keeravani. The anticipation for “Mega 157” is growing, and fans are eagerly awaiting this promising cinematic venture.
