Chiranjeevi’s Mega157: Makers Eye Rani Mukerji for a Key Role in Srikanth Odela’s Action Drama

Chiranjeevi, the undisputed megastar of Telugu cinema, is gearing up for an exciting collaboration with Dasara director Srikanth Odela in his upcoming film, tentatively titled Mega157. Ever since its announcement, the film has been generating significant buzz, and now, an intriguing update has surfaced regarding the casting. Reports suggest that the makers are keen on roping in Bollywood actress Rani Mukerji for a pivotal role. However, no official confirmation has been made yet.

If the reports hold true, Mega157 would mark Rani Mukerji’s return to South Indian cinema after her debut in Hey Ram (2000) alongside Kamal Haasan. The role that Srikanth Odela envisions for the film is said to be of great importance, requiring an established and powerful presence.

A Gangster Drama Set in the 90s

Srikanth Odela, known for his raw and intense storytelling, has reportedly crafted a gangster action drama set in the 1990s. Chiranjeevi’s character is expected to be both stylish and age-appropriate, ensuring a fresh yet nostalgic appeal for fans. The film is being bankrolled by Sudhakar Cherukuri under the banner of SLV Cinemas, while Anirudh Ravichander is set to compose the music, adding further excitement to the project.

The director, expressing his enthusiasm, shared that collaborating with Chiranjeevi is a dream come true. He revealed that the veteran actor finalized the script within 48 hours of hearing it, underscoring his confidence in the project.

Chiranjeevi’s Busy Slate

Apart from Mega157, Chiranjeevi is also working on Vishwambhara, a fantasy action film directed by Mallidi Vassishta. The film, featuring Trisha Krishnan, Kunal Kapoor, and Ashika Ranganath, is backed by UV Creations with music composed by MM Keeravani. Additionally, the megastar has also signed a project with Anil Ravipudi, which is rumored to be a full-fledged comedy entertainer.

With an intriguing lineup of films and the possibility of Rani Mukerji making her return to South cinema, Mega157 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated projects in Telugu cinema. Fans eagerly await official announcements as Chiranjeevi continues to rule the silver screen with his timeless charisma.
