Chiranjeevi, the iconic Megastar of Telugu cinema, has carved his niche with numerous blockbuster hits. However, in recent years, fans have been yearning for that one exceptional film that can reignite the magic of Chiranjeevi on the silver screen. While Chiranjeevi’s contemporaries like Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, and Balakrishna continue to deliver successes with diverse stories, Megastar Chiranjeevi has faced a dry spell. The primary culprit behind this drought has been his inclination towards remakes of late, leaving fans somewhat disappointed.
Chiranjeevi’s last outing, Bhola Shankar, a remake of the 2015 Tamil film Vedalam, was met with backlash from the moment of its announcement. Unfortunately, the film couldn’t live up to expectations and became a box-office disaster. To add to the disappointment, news of “Chiru 156” being a remake of the Malayalam blockbuster “Bro Daddy” further disheartened the fans.
The backlash from “Bhola Shankar” and the skepticism surrounding “Chiru 156” might have finally prompted Chiranjeevi to reevaluate his approach. This revelation came on a significant day – Ayudha Pooja and Vijayadasami – when the makers of his new film shared a captivating update. The poster for Megastar Chiranjeevi’s upcoming film with director Vasishta, previously known as Mega157, was unveiled, now aptly renamed as #Mega156.
The reason behind this change was associated with the supposed cancellation of the Chiranjeevi-Kalyan Krishna collaboration, which was initially intended to be Megastar’s 156th film. This Kalyan Krishna project was rumored to be an official remake of “Bro Daddy.” However, it seems Chiranjeevi, learning from past experiences, wanted to move away from remakes and comedies. His focus appears to have shifted entirely towards an exciting fantasy film, making his fans ecstatic with this change of direction.
Meanwhile, many are commenting that Bhola Shankar is a good film for fans as it changed Chiranjeevi and made him to stay away from remakesm The revelation of this new direction brings a fresh wave of hope to Mega fans who have been waiting for that remarkable Chiranjeevi film. Chiranjeevi’s decision to break away from the remake rut is a promising step in the right direction. As he ventures into the realm of fantasy, fans can’t help but feel the excitement building.
