What A Speed! Megastar Jumps Into Sets
Just two days after the launch, the regular shooting schedule of #Mega158 got started.
By: Shanaz B Syed | 22 May 2026 3:25 PM ISTIt’s just a day ago that Megastar Chiranjeevi launched his 158th movie, which will be bankrolled by KVN Productions and directed by KS Bobby, who has earlier crafted Waltair Veerayya with the same senior hero. However, this film’s launch was delayed several times, as it was supposed to be released during Sankranthi itself, after the release of Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu. Finally, it was launched in the summer due to various reasons, including script and production-house issues. And it looks like from now on the film’s speed is unstoppable.
Just two days after the launch, the regular shooting schedule of #Mega158 got started. On Friday itself, Chiranjeevi, along with Malayalam actress Anaswara Rajan, who is playing his daughter in the film, joined the film’s shooting spot. Currently, the shooting is happening at the popular City College, Afzhal Gunj, Hyderabad. They have made some massive adjustments to the sets, and a lot of junior artists are also taking part in the shoot. While Anaswara will be seen as a college student, Chiranjeevi will be doing a lot of action around the same.
As of now, the film has no heroine, and there’s no clarity on whether actresses like Priyamani or Shriya Saran will be seen as Chiranjeevi’s wife in the flashback episodes. However, there will be two high-energy special songs if reports are to be believed, and two star Bollywood heroines are already in talks for the dance numbers. After contemplating to rope in AR Rahman for a long time, finally the makers of #Mega158 got SS Thaman onboard. A couple of songs are already composed, too.
