Hyderabad, Mar 16: Megastar Chiranjeevi is set to collaborate with director Anil Ravipudi for a full-fledged comedy entertainer, marking an exciting addition to his upcoming projects. Following the success of Sankranthiki Vasthunam, Ravipudi is diligently working on the script, which promises to be a laugh riot.
According to reports, the first half of the script has been completed, with work on the remaining portion currently underway in Hyderabad. Though Chiranjeevi and Ravipudi do not meet frequently, they are said to be in regular discussions over the film’s progress.

The movie is scheduled to go on floors in May 2025, with the team aiming for a Sankranti 2026 release. The makers plan to complete shooting within 90 days, making it one of the fastest productions in Telugu cinema.
Anil Ravipudi is crafting a unique accent and body language for Chiranjeevi in this film, adding an extra layer of excitement for fans. However, casting the female lead remains a challenge, as finding a suitable on-screen pair for senior actors has been a growing concern in the industry. Aditi Rao Hydari’s name is reportedly in discussion, though her final confirmation is awaited. Since the heroine will feature in at least two of the film’s four songs alongside Chiranjeevi, the selection process is being approached with caution.
The film’s music will be composed by Bheems Ceciroleo, adding to the anticipation surrounding the project. The makers are eyeing a theatrical release around January 10 or 12, 2026.
Meanwhile, Chiranjeevi is also gearing up for the release of his fantasy action film Vishwambhara, directed by Mallidi Vassishta. The socio-fantasy drama, which has been in production for over a year, is expected to be another major release from the Megastar.
