Megastar Chiranjeevi is set to kick off his much-anticipated 158th film, tentatively titled Mega158, with a lavish launch event in Hyderabad on April 11th. The presence of Powerstar Pawan Kalyan as the chief guest has added tremendous excitement among fans, making this launch a truly star-studded affair.
Director Bobby Kolli reunites with Chiranjeevi after their successful stint with "Waltair Veerayya," bringing heightened expectations to this upcoming project. The team, including Bobby and the producers, personally invited Pawan Kalyan to the event, a gesture that has delighted the Mega and Powerstar fanbases. Notably, the launch date also marks a decade since "Sardar Gabbar Singh," another mass entertainer that paired Pawan Kalyan and Bobby Kolli.
The film’s script has been finalized and shooting will commence from April 20th in Hyderabad. Priyamani has been cast opposite Chiranjeevi, bringing fresh pairing to the big screen. The production is helmed by KVN Productions, making its debut, while ace music director Thaman is set to compose the soundtrack and background score. The makers had initially eyed a Sankranthi 2027 release, although the official release date remains unconfirmed.
With the project now officially underway, fans can look forward to further updates as filming begins later this month. Expectations are sky-high for this Mega-Powerstar collaboration, and Tollywood is abuzz to see what unfolds next.
