Chiranjeevi has scored a massive hit with Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, which has grossed just over ₹300 crore at the box office. Directed by Anil Ravipudi of Sankranthiki Vasthunnam fame, the family drama will be available on OTTplay Premium very soon. The focus has now shifted to Chiranjeevi’s next project.
Chiranjeevi will next be seen in a film directed by Bobby Kolli, who previously helmed Waltair Veerayya with the megastar. The action drama has already been announced, and we have some exciting information about the project.
A source close to the film has revealed that it will be a father–daughter action drama. Chiranjeevi will play his age and go all out to save his daughter, who finds herself in dire situations.

The source further adds that a very young and popular heroine has been locked to play Chiranjeevi’s daughter, and her name will be announced soon. There is also buzz that another popular actor will be part of the film, adding to the surprise factor.
Of late, Chiranjeevi has been careful to choose mature roles while still maintaining his mass image. This is one of the reasons he opted to collaborate with Bobby Kolli on this film, which will be mounted on a massive scale.
A few days ago, there were reports that the project had hit a roadblock due to budget constraints. However, things are now back on track, and the shooting is expected to go on floors in the summer of 2027.
Not many know that Chiranjeevi has also completed a big-budget film titled Vishwambhara, which was initially planned to release first. Due to issues with the VFX, the film was postponed, and Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu was released instead. Vishwambhara is now slated to hit the screens in the summer of 2027.

With the success of Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, Chiranjeevi has once again proved that age is just a number. When in top form, he continues to rewrite box-office records with ease. The upcoming project with Bobby Kolli is scheduled for a grand release during Sankranthi 2027. Stay tuned for more updates.
