The production of Chiranjeevi's socio-fantasy film, Vishwambhara, has seen its budget escalate to over 250 crore due to a comprehensive visual effects (VFX) overhaul. This significant increase follows initial criticism of the teaser's graphics, leading to a decision to completely revamp the CGI work. The project is now the most expensive in Chiranjeevi's career, with his remuneration alone reported at 75 crore, representing 30% of the total estimated cost.
Originally slated for release earlier, Vishwambhara has faced multiple delays, with the VFX work alone reportedly costing 75 crore and involving top Hollywood studios. The film, written and directed by Mallidi Vassishta, has confirmed a release window for the summer of 2026. It features a notable cast including Trisha Krishnan and Ashika Ranganath, with music by M. M. Keeravani.
