Nayanthara is reportedly in talks to star opposite Chiranjeevi in his upcoming film directed by Anil Ravipudi, and has allegedly quoted a fee of Rs 18 crore, according to sources. The film, tentatively titled MEGA157, marks Chiranjeevi’s next major theatrical project and is said to be a full-length comedy.

MEGA157 is being produced by Sahu Garapati and Sushmita Konidela under the Shine Screens and Goldbox Entertainments banners. The film was recently launched with a formal ceremony. 

Director Anil Ravipudi, known for his commercial entertainers, previously revealed that MEGA157 will highlight Chiranjeevi’s signature comic timing. The film’s script has been completed, and production is underway.

Music for the film will be composed by Bheems Ceciroleo, who earlier collaborated with Ravipudi on the recent hit Sankranthiki Vasthunnam. Further details regarding the film’s shooting schedule and supporting cast are expected to be announced soon.
