The fun-filled video, shared by Chiranjeevi Konidela on social media with the caption, “Meeting our gang of #Mega157. Loved it, @anilravipudi! I can imagine how entertaining the shoot is going to be on the sets! #SANKRANTHI2026 #ChiruAnil @Shine_Screens @GoldBoxEnt,” captures the warm camaraderie among the team. It features Chiranjeevi stepping out of his car, welcomed by the assistant directors, additional dialogue writer, co-writer Narayana, writer and executive producer Sai Krishna, production designer A.S. Prakash, editor Tammiraju—who humorously remarks, “If you shoot excessively, I will have it cut,”—cinematographer Sameer Reddy promising a fast-paced shoot, music director Bheems Ceciroleo praising Chiranjeevi, producers Sahu Garapati and Sushmita Konidela (the latter being Chiranjeevi’s daughter), and director Anil Ravipudi, known for his blockbuster streak.
Anil Ravipudi, celebrated for delivering eight consecutive hits including the ₹300 crore blockbuster Sankranthiki Vasthunnam, is once again teaming up with Chiranjeevi for this highly anticipated film. The duo’s previous collaborations have been a hit with audiences, and fans are eager to see their signature blend of humor, action, and emotion in Mega157. The project was officially launched during the grand Ugadi celebrations with a star-studded pooja ceremony, attended by notable personalities like Victory Venkatesh, who sounded the clapboard, Allu Aravind, who switched on the camera, and legendary director K. Raghavendra Rao, who directed the first shot, setting the tone for an epic cinematic journey.
Mega157 is set to be an exciting mix of humor, heart, and high-energy action, with Chiranjeevi playing the role of Shankar Varaprasad—a character expected to strike a chord with fans and moviegoers alike. With Anil Ravipudi’s meticulous screenplay and a talented ensemble cast and crew, the film is shaping up to be one of the most awaited releases of 2026, with a grand release planned for Sankranthi 2026. The buzz around the film is palpable, and fans are eagerly looking forward to Chiranjeevi’s dynamic performance on the big screen once again.
