Chiranjeevi’s Mega 156 goes on floors with puja ceremony

Megastar Chiranjeevi, who turned 68 on August 22, remains one of the busiest actors in Telugu cinema. The actor has two big films released earlier this year with Waltair Veeraiya and Bhola Shankar, and he is already working on his next two big projects. One of these two projects, Mega 156, finally had a launch event today.

Mallidi is known for his film Bimbasar
The launch event was attended by the primary crew associated with the film. Mega 156 is being directed by filmmaker Vashishtha Mallidi. Mallidi is primarily known for his film Bimbasar, which starred Nandamuri Kalyan Ram in the lead role and was a major box office success.

Mega 156 is reportedly a social-fantasy entertainment film. Due to its fantasy genre elements, the film is reportedly heavy on VFX. As a result, the film was in its pre-production stage for a long time. However, shooting for the film will reportedly begin in early November, and is tentatively scheduled to continue until April 2024.

A few days ago, it was reported that Bollywood icon Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was approached to play the lead role opposite Chiranjeevi in the social-fantasy film. However, there is no official confirmation or denial from the makers yet. Academy Award winner M M Keeravani has been selected to compose the music for the film.
