By: Shanaz B Syed | 23 Aug 2025 2:20 PM ISTMegastar Chiranjeevi turned 70, but retirement is nowhere on his mind. The Megastar is handling two big films, Vishwambhara and Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu. More than the projects, what people are talking about is the age gap between him and his leading ladies, a subject that always follows him.
In Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, directed by Anil Ravipudi, he teams up with Nayanthara. Chiru is 70, Nayan is 40. That thirty-year gap is what fans are debating online. Some feel it looks odd, others believe Ravipudi knows how to make it work. The film is lined up for Sankranthi 2026, and the festival release adds to the hype.
Meanwhile, Vishwambhara, directed by Mallidi Vassishta, shows Chiru in a fantasy warrior avatar. The glimpse dropped on his birthday went viral instantly. Here, Trisha Krishnan plays the female lead along with Ashika Ranganath, while Kunal Kapoor joins in a strong role. Again, the numbers draw attention, Trisha at 42, opposite Chiru at 70.
Debates aside, the bigger picture is clear. Chiranjeevi has reached a stage where his name alone pulls crowds. Whether it’s a family entertainer or a fantasy epic, he still carries films like few others in Tollywood. On his 70th birthday, the talk isn’t about slowing down, but about what he plans to conquer next.
