The buzz around Mega 157 just got bigger as Megastar Chiranjeevi Konidela officially welcomed Nayanthara to the cast, marking their third collaboration. Taking to social media, Chiranjeevi tweeted, “Welcome back for the hatrick film #Nayanthara! Glad to have you on board for our #Mega157 journey with @anilravipudi SANKRANTHI 2026.” The reunion of this hit pair has heightened expectations for what is shaping up to be one of Sankranthi 2026’s most awaited Telugu blockbusters.
Directed by popular filmmaker Anil Ravipudi, Mega 157 promises to be a high-octane entertainer blending mass appeal with Ravipudi's signature commercial style. Known for his box office hits and sharp sense of humor, Ravipudi is set to craft a tailor-made role for Chiranjeevi, adding a fresh layer to the veteran actor’s ever-evolving screen persona. With Nayanthara onboard, the film also ensures a strong emotional core, making this their third cinematic outing together after Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy and GodFather.
The music for the film is composed by Bheems Ceciroleo, whose recent chartbusters have resonated well with younger audiences. Backed by Sahu Garapati and Sushmita Konidela under the banners of Shine Screens and Gold Box Entertainments, the production promises high-quality visuals and grand staging fit for the festival season. The project is expected to begin shooting later this year with more casting and plot details to follow.
As Telugu cinema continues to evolve with pan-Indian appeal and grander narratives, Mega 157 stands out as a marquee event that blends star power, festive timing, and commercial storytelling. With Chiranjeevi and Nayanthara reuniting under Anil Ravipudi’s direction, the film is well-positioned to be a major Sankranthi crowd-puller in 2026.
