In his second innings, Megastar Chiranjeevi has done five different movies so far. Among them, only "Waltair Veerayya" turned out to be a blockbuster hit, while the rest did not live up to expectations. The latest film, "Bhola Shankar," has become one of the top disasters in Chiranjeevi's career, a result that no one anticipated. Moving forward, Chiranjeevi plans to be more cautious with his script selection. With changing audience preferences, he aims to work on strong stories and super fictional concepts rather than just commercial films.
Currently, Chiranjeevi is working on a socio-fantasy film titled "Vishwambhara," directed by Vashist Mallidi. The movie, featuring senior actress Trisha as Chiranjeevi's lead pair, is 40% complete. Additionally, four other actresses will play significant roles in the film.
Discussions about Chiranjeevi's future projects have already begun. He is planning to be selective with his scripts and collaborate with young, talented directors who bring fresh ideas. Chiranjeevi has been listening to scripts from various directors, including a young director who pitched a complete entertainment-based story that Chiranjeevi liked.
Moreover, Chiranjeevi is considering a movie with director Chandoo Mondeti, who has prepared a script with Chiranjeevi in mind. Another name in the mix is commercial director Harish Shankar, known for his unique screenplay magic and entertainment. Harish Shankar is currently working on "Mister Bachchan" with Ravi Teja and has to complete "Ustaad Bhagat Singh" with Pawan Kalyan. It remains to be seen when he will start a project with Chiranjeevi.
