Megastar Chiranjeevi’s upcoming film, tentatively titled Mega157, is quickly moving ahead in pre-production. Directed by hitmaker Anil Ravipudi, the film has already created a buzz as it marks Chiranjeevi’s return to a full-length comedy role after a long time.
Recently, the makers made an exciting announcement by officially introducing Nayanthara as the film’s leading lady. A special promo video was released to confirm the news, showing the actress in a fun and playful mood. In the video, Nayanthara is seen talking in Telugu with her team, enjoying Chiranjeevi’s classic hit songs while traveling in a car, and reading the film’s script. She even surprises fans by delivering one of Chiranjeevi’s famous dialogues, all while flashing her signature smile. Towards the end of the video, director Anil Ravipudi joins her and confirms her entry into the project.
This film marks the third time Chiranjeevi and Nayanthara will be sharing screen space. They earlier worked together in the historical drama Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy and the political thriller Godfather. Their on-screen chemistry has always been appreciated, and fans are excited to see them together again.
Director Anil Ravipudi, known for delivering successful comedy entertainers, is currently riding high after his recent hit Sankranthiki Vasthunnam. He is confident that Mega157 will be another crowd-pleaser. According to inside sources, Nayanthara’s role in the film will be both powerful and refreshing. The promo video hints that her character will have a fun and lively angle, something audiences may not have seen from her in a while.
Chiranjeevi also shared his excitement on social media, welcoming Nayanthara to the project. He called this their “hattrick” collaboration and expressed happiness about working with her again. Fans are expecting this new pairing to bring back the magic to the big screen.
Chiranjeevi is also hoping to bounce back with this film. His last movie Bhola Shankar didn’t do well at the box office, and now he is looking for strong content that will strike a chord with the audience. Mega157, being a comedy-action film, brings him back to the genre that his fans love him most for.
The music for the film will be composed by Bheems Ceciroleo, and the makers are planning to release the film during Sankranthi 2026. In the promotional video, Anil Ravipudi hints at this festive release window with the line “Sankranthiki Raffadincheddham,” which translates to “Let’s create a bang this Sankranthi.”
With Chiranjeevi back in his comedy-action avatar, Anil Ravipudi’s humorous direction, and Nayanthara’s charm, Mega157 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated Telugu films. Fans are eagerly waiting for more updates and hope this film brings back the magic of Chiranjeevi’s golden days.
