Megastar Chiranjeevi is currently participating in the last leg of Vishwambhara’s shoot. Vassishta is the writer and director of this fantasy action drama. The release date will be decided based on the progress of VFX works. After completing Vishwambhara, Chiru will move on to Anil Ravipudi’s project.

For the past couple of days, social media has been abuzz with rumors that young actor and Megastar’s die-hard fan Kartikeya will be seen as the villain in Chiru-Anil’s film. Kartikeya earlier acted as an antagonist in Nani’s Gang Leader, and Ajith’s Valimai. However, it is said that the rumors about Kartikeya’s inclusion in Chiru-Anil’s film are completely baseless.

There have also been some speculations about the female lead, but nothing has been finalized yet. Reportedly, Venkatesh will have an extended cameo in this mega entertainer. Chiranjeevi’s daughter, Sushmita Konidela, and Sahu Garapati are jointly producing this big-ticket entertainer. Bheems Ceciroleo is roped in to compose the tunes. The film will be released during Sankranthi 2026.
