Megastar Chiranjeevi shows no signs of slowing down. Age clearly isn’t a factor when it comes to his star power in Tollywood. After delivering a strong Sankranti box office run with Maname Shankara Varaprasad, Chiru appears ready to take a different path. This time, he is looking beyond routine commercial films and turning his attention toward younger filmmakers and fresher storytelling styles.
That shift has already started conversations among fans and trade circles.
One of the most interesting developments right now is Chiranjeevi’s upcoming collaboration with Srikanth Odela, the director who made a mark with Dasara. Odela’s raw, grounded way of telling stories has earned him attention quickly. People close to the development say the narration genuinely connected with the Megastar, prompting him to move ahead with detailed discussions on the project.
Many believe this film could show Chiranjeevi in a form audiences have not seen in recent years.
Adding another layer of curiosity is the buzz around Natural Star Nani producing the film under his Wall Poster Cinema banner. While there is no official confirmation yet, the idea itself has caught on fast.
A Chiranjeevi film backed by Nani feels unusual in the best way. Nani’s banner is known for backing strong, content-led projects rather than safe formulas, which makes this combination feel fresh.
Story Set in the 1970s
People close to the project say the film is likely set in the 1970s, revolving around a gritty crime world from that period. The focus, however, will not just be on crime, but also on character depth and emotional weight.
Srikanth Odela’s earlier “Blood Promise” poster is said to hint at the film’s intense tone. Authentic sets, period costumes, and raw visuals are expected to play a big role in shaping the film’s mood.
Music and Making Style Add to the Hype
There is also strong talk about Anirudh Ravichander possibly handling the music. If that happens, his background score could lift the film’s intensity even further.
With Odela’s earthy filmmaking and Nani’s production values, expectations are naturally rising, though the team seems focused on keeping the storytelling grounded.
What Comes Next for Chiranjeevi
After wrapping up Viswambhara, Chiranjeevi is expected to take this project forward. While fans are waiting for an official announcement, the excitement is already visible.
If everything falls into place, the Chiranjeevi–Nani–Srikanth Odela combination could quietly turn into one of the most talked-about projects in Telugu cinema.
