Mega158: Leak Forces Chiranjeevi Film Delay
11 Apr
Summary
- Chiranjeevi's Mega158 launch postponed due to a major leak.
- Film shoot delayed, expected to start April 20, 2026.
- Thaman S will compose music for the film.
Megastar Chiranjeevi's upcoming film, tentatively titled 'Mega158' and directed by Bobby Kolli, has seen its planned launch ceremony postponed. The decision to delay the film's commencement was reportedly influenced by a significant leak of Thalapathy Vijay's upcoming movie, 'Jana Nayagan'.
The filmmakers are adopting a cautious approach following the 'Jana Nayagan' leak, which prompted an appeal from its makers for no further sharing or viewing of leaked content. This has led 'Mega158's team to hold off on their launch to prevent any potential complications.
Initially slated to begin production earlier, the film's shoot is now tentatively scheduled to start on April 20, 2026. This date is subject to change, as the project has already faced prior delays, including one due to Chiranjeevi's knee surgery. The film will feature music composed by Thaman S, with Priyamani and Priety Mukundhan expected in key roles.
Separately, Chiranjeevi has committed to another project, a gritty action thriller directed by Srikantha Odela and produced by Nani, which is slated to begin after Bobby's directorial venture.
