'Mega 154': Chiranjeevi's next gets release date
Telugu megastar Chiranjeevi's next film tentatively titled Mega 154 finally got a release date. Directed by KS Ravindra popularly known as Bobby and co-starring Shruti Haasan, the film will hit the marquee on Sankranti 2023. The makers shared a poster of the upcoming actioner on Friday while revealing the news. And, its title is also expected to be announced soon.
- Chiru's previous film Acharya—though released amidst huge expectations—received a lukewarm response from fans and critics alike.
- So, since it has been more than two years since he saw success (2019's Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy), his fans are waiting for his next film to release.
- Hence, the announcement of Mega 154's release comes as a piece of exciting news.
Mythri Movie Makers, who are bankrolling the project, took to Twitter and shared a new poster from the film announcing the release date. With it, the makers wrote, "#Mega154 Grand Worldwide Release in Cinemas this Sankranthi 2023." In the poster, we can see Chiru's hand holding on to what looks like an anchor in the backdrop of the sea amidst heavy rain.
