In a scorching beginning to what seems to be a milestone film, Megastar Chiranjeevi’s much-awaited film #Mega157 has finished its first shoot schedule, and the excitement is getting louder. Written and directed by the dynamic and people’s darling director Anil Ravipudi, the film is turning out to be a visual feast and a mass entertainer with all the ingredients of grandeur, action, and emotion.
According to a #FilmyBowlExclusive, the first leg of shooting for Mega157 took place on a lavish set built over 7 acres of land, designed to bring a larger-than-life cinematic world to life. The production team has spared no expense in ensuring that the sets match the magnitude of Chiranjeevi’s star power. In this first schedule, a high-energy fight sequence and some of the most important scenes were shot, and the pace for the grand saga about to unfold was thus set.
Chiranjeevi Back to Mass Terrain with Mega157
Chiranjeevi, the name that rings a bell with generations of Telugu cinema enthusiasts, is back in action doing what he always does best — entertaining the masses with charm, vigor, and authoritative presence. With experimental genres and scripts over the last few years, it appears Chiranjeevi has chosen Mega157 to be his comeback to a mass-appealing, all-around entertainer, and the masses couldn’t be more thrilled.
Director Anil Ravipudi, who is infamous for his box office successes such as Sarileru Neekevvaru and F2: Fun and Frustration, brings together humor, action, and emotions in each frame, making him the ideal choice for Chiranjeevi’s mass following. This combination is likely to bring a film that will be appealing not only to die-hard fans but to families and youngsters as well.
First Schedule Highlights: Action, Grandeur, and Technical Excellence
The finished first schedule was mostly shot in a humongous specially designed set, constructed over 7 acres, which apparently features indoor as well as outdoor spaces. The look is being created on a high production value scale, with art design, lighting, and camera work being important in the creation of an immersive world-like cinematography.
In this sequence, the team filmed a big fight, precision and visually shot with sophistication. Action numbers in Chiranjeevi movies have ever been a show-stopper, and so far, this one appears to be no exception — preliminary reports indicate that stylized stunts and tight choreography will be one of the major attractions of the movie.
Apart from the fight sequence, the cast also shot major dramatic scenes involving Chiranjeevi, which are likely to determine the course of the story in the film. The director is said to be adopting a layered strategy, interweaving high-octane sequences with powerful emotional moments.
Second Schedule Shifts to Dehradun for 25-30 Days
The momentum does not cease. The producers have lined up a long second schedule of 25 to 30 days, which will start soon in Dehradun, the capital of Uttarakhand. The hill station will be the location for some key sequences, indicating that the narrative might travel across various landscapes and environments.
The crew has already begun preparing for this shoot schedule. Sources inform that several scenic and dramatic scenes will be filmed in and around Dehradun, and Chiranjeevi will also be present during this leg. Changing locations means a new visual texture and generates excitement to the already happening project.
Mega157: Everything We Know So Far
Though the cast is tight-lipped regarding the entire plot and character details, people close to the production inform that Mega157 is not a run-of-the-mill action drama — it has social issues, mass elements, and fantasy mixed in a manner that will surprise viewers. Chiranjeevi is said to play an energetic role with diverse shades, and the plot is devised in a way that will provide entertainment as well as a powerful message.
Anil Ravipudi, known for his quirky writing and emotional depth, is believed to have penned an engaging screenplay that will tap into Chiranjeevi’s versatility. Whether it’s comedy, action, or intense drama, the director plans to showcase every side of the actor’s legendary talent.
The technical crew supporting Mega157 also has hope. With industry-leading technicians on board for cinematography, action choreography, and background score, the movie is eyeing a theatrical outing that impresses both in content and appearance.
High Expectations from Mega Fans
Since the announcement of Mega157, fans have been eagerly waiting for news. The wrap of the first schedule and the magnitude at which it was being done have further fueled the buzz. With #Mega157 trending on a regular basis on social media, fans in Telugu states and elsewhere are eagerly waiting to see their star in action once again.
The merger of the star power of Chiranjeevi and the commercial sense of Anil Ravipudi creates an electrically charged buzz, and the involvement of Sithara Entertainments in producing the film adds to the film’s vision confidence.
Though new Chiranjeevi movies have had mixed box office returns, Mega157 is being touted as a real comeback film — one that mixes mass content with contemporary storytelling. The producers are also said to be in negotiations with leading musicians and post-production units to promote the highest film standards.
