Chiranjeevi is wasting no time after the success of Mana Shankara Vara Prasad, which was released during this year's Sankranthi festival and emerged as a massive hit. The actor has already begun work on his next film, tentatively titled Chiru158, directed by Bobby Kolli.
This marks the second collaboration between Chiranjeevi and Bobby Kolli after the tremendous success of Waltair Veerayya. As expected, the project has generated huge buzz among fans and trade circles alike.
The film is being produced on a grand scale by Venkat K Narayana under the prestigious KVN Productions banner. Notably, this is KVN Productions' maiden Telugu venture after delivering several successful films across multiple languages.
The shoot is currently progressing at a brisk pace, with a key schedule now underway in Pollachi. Chiranjeevi and the principal cast are participating in the filming of several important sequences during this schedule.
Meanwhile, a special video released by the team congratulating the makers of Ram Charan's Peddi has been receiving an overwhelming response from fans across social media platforms.
Director Bobby Kolli has reportedly designed the story on a much larger scale than his previous films. Chiranjeevi, who has enthralled audiences for decades with his commanding screen presence, will reportedly be seen in one of the most powerful and intense roles of his career. For the character, the actor has undergone yet another impressive physical transformation.
A highly skilled technical team has been assembled for this prestigious project. S Thaman is composing the music, while Vijay Kartik Kannan handles cinematography. Avinash Kolla is the production designer, and Antony L Ruben is taking care of the editing.
The screenplay is being written by Kona Venkat and K Chakravarthy Reddy, while Hari Mohana Krishna and Vineeth Potluri are contributing as additional screenplay writers. The dialogues are being penned by the Bhanu-Nandu duo.
The makers are expected to announce details regarding the female lead and the rest of the principal cast in the coming days.
