The film's success will depend on the chemistry between Nayanthara and Chiranjeevi, as well as the direction of Anil Ravipudi. With a talented cast and crew, Mega157 is poised to be a grand cinematic experience, and fans are eagerly awaiting its release.
Nayanthara has been announced as the lead actress in Chiranjeevi's upcoming film, Mega157, marking her third collaboration with the megastar, with a grand Sankranthi 2026 release in sight. The film, directed by Anil Ravipudi, promises a fresh and powerful role for Nayanthara, with music composed by Bheems Ceciroleo.
The announcement of Nayanthara's involvement in Mega157 has sparked excitement among fans, but also reignited a long-standing fan rivalry with Trisha, whose trailer for "Thug Life" was launched on the same day. Trisha's fans accused Nayanthara's team of trying to steal the spotlight, while Nayanthara's fans defended her, saying her stardom is strong enough to stand on its own. Despite the fan wars, both actresses have maintained a professional rivalry.
The film, produced by Shine Screens, Gold Box Entertainments, and presented by Smt Archana, is set to begin filming on May 22 in Hyderabad. The movie will be co-produced by Sahu Garapati and Sushmita Konidela, with a special set being constructed for the project. Rumors suggest that Venkatesh may also be a part of the cast, adding to the anticipation surrounding the film.
Mega157 is expected to release before Chiranjeevi's delayed fantasy drama, Vishwambhara, which is currently undergoing VFX work and is expected to release next year. With a talented cast and crew, Mega157 is shaping up to be one of the most highly anticipated films of 2026.
As the film's release approaches, fans can expect more updates and sneak peeks into the making of Mega157. With Nayanthara and Chiranjeevi teaming up once again, the film is sure to be a blockbuster hit, and the rivalry between Nayanthara and Trisha's fans will only add to the excitement surrounding the film.
