Director Anil Ravipudi scored the biggest hit of his career with the film Sankranthiki Vasthunnam. The Venkatesh-starrer grossed just over ₹300 crore at the box office. This success earned Anil Ravipudi a golden opportunity to direct none other than megastar Chiranjeevi in a big-budget entertainer.
The film was launched on a grand note, and none other than Annaatthe and Aramm star Nayanthara will be seen in the female lead role. The latest update is that the film went on floors in Hyderabad on May 23, 2025. Anil Ravipudi shared glimpses from the shoot, much to the delight of fans. Currently, scenes involving family drama are being filmed at Annapurna Studios.
Popular Hindi actress Zarina Wahab has joined the cast and will portray Chiranjeevi's mother. She shot alongside Chiranjeevi on the first day of production. Known for his fast-paced shooting style, Anil Ravipudi reportedly plans to wrap up the film in under six months.
This marks the first time Nayanthara has been romantically paired opposite Chiranjeevi. Interestingly, she agreed to be part of the film at a reduced fee — something that rarely happens in her case. Bheems Ceciroleo, who has delivered several recent musical hits, is composing the soundtrack for the film.
Chiranjeevi will be seen in a completely new look in this out-and-out comedy caper. Sahu Garapati and Chiranjeevi’s daughter, Sushmita Konidela, are co-producing the project on a grand scale. Chiranjeevi is said to have been paid a massive fee for his role.
The makers have reportedly finalized a “crazy” title for the film, which will be announced in the coming days. As of now, the shoot is in full swing and will soon move to the interior parts of Andhra Pradesh. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting project.
