Actor Chiranjeevi and director Bobby Kolli have reunited for their upcoming film, tentatively titled Chiru158, following the success of Waltair Veerayya. The film was launched on Thursday in a grand manner, with Chiranjeevi’s brother and Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan attending the ceremony along with their elder brother Nagababu.
The film is being produced by Venkat K Narayana under the banner of KVN Productions. The collaboration between Chiranjeevi and Bobby Kolli has already generated huge excitement among fans, and the makers are planning to mount the project on a massive scale. The film also marks KVN Productions’ maiden Telugu venture after producing several notable projects in Kannada, Tamil, and Hindi.
After a series of announcements that created strong buzz around the project, the makers officially launched the film with a grand pooja ceremony. The event turned even more special with the presence of Pawan Kalyan and Nagababu as chief guests. Fans were delighted to see the three brothers sharing the stage together.
Pawan Kalyan sounded the clapboard, while Sushmita Konidela switched on the camera. Director VV Vinayak directed the first shot.
