Mega 154! Official: Here's when Chiranjeevi's much-awaited action film with Bobby will hit the screens

Last year, director Bobby surprised one and all when he announced that he is going to direct Megastar Chiranjeevi. The project was tentatively titled Mega 154, and its first look poster was also revealed, leaving the star's fans excited to the core. The movie then went on floors after a few months. 

Now, Bobby has taken to Twitter to announce that the much-awaited action film will release in theatres on Sankranthi 2023. He shared his excitement, "This time its going to be a MEGA festival!. Make way for MASS MOOLA VIRAT for this Sankranthi 2023. Can’t hold my eagerness to witness the MASS Euphoria of MY HERO @KChiruTweets garu on the big screens with my film #Mega154 (sic)."

Naveen Yerneni and Y Ravi Shankar are bankrolling the movie under Mythri Movie Makers, and Devi Sri Prasad has been roped in to compose music for the film. The musician and Megastar are joining hands after the latter's comeback film Khaidhi No 150 (streaming on Disney+ Hotstar).

Shruti Haasan is playing the female lead in Mega 154. This is the first time the actress will be seen sharing the screen space with the Tollywood veteran. The official title and teaser of the movie are expected to be out in a few month's time. 

Fans of Megastar have pinned high hopes on the project as the star's last outing Acharya (streaming on Amazon Prime Video) was a debacle at the box office. Bobby's last movie was the multi-starrer Venky Mama (streaming on Zee5) which was released in 2019.

Prabhas' pan Indian film Adipurush and Vijay's bilingual project Varisu (Vaarasudu in Telugu) have already been announced as theatrical releases for Sankranthi festival next year. Tollywood movie buffs are going to have a gala time during the much-awaited festival season in 2023.
