Current Status Of Chiranjeevi Bobby Mega 158
Mega 158 Stuck in Limbo
Megastar Chiranjeevi isn’t one to slow down, and at 70, his energy is still unmatched. After wrapping Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, fans expected him to jump straight into Mega 158 with director Bobby. The duo gave us the blockbuster Waltair Veerayya, so naturally, the buzz was huge when they announced a December 2025 start. But it’s been four months, and despite talks of an April 20 shoot, the film hasn’t moved an inch. Social media is full of worried posts from Mega fans asking, “Where is Mega 158?” The silence from the team is only making the wait harder.
So what’s causing the delay? It’s a mix of money and market. Mega 158 is being planned on a massive scale, and that means big budgets. Insiders say the current slump in the OTT space has hit the film hard. These days, digital rights cover a huge part of a film’s recovery, and with OTT platforms being tight-fisted, producers are thinking twice. The first sign of trouble came when AR Rahman walked out and S Thaman stepped in as music director a clear cost-cutting move.
It doesn’t stop there. KVN Productions, the banner behind Mega 158, is dealing with its own set of headaches. Their other big films are also stuck Jana Nayagan is facing censor cuts and leak issues, Toxic keeps getting postponed, and KD – The Devil has release problems. All this has pushed Chiru’s film to the back burner. Sources indicate that the team is waiting for KVN’s other projects to stabilize before pumping money into Mega 158. Even Bobby is reportedly tweaking the script to fit the revised budget. For now, there’s no shoot date, no puja photos, nothing. Mega fans are just hoping for one official update to calm the nerves.
The combo of Chiranjeevi and Bobby still promises fireworks, but the delay is testing patience. With the OTT market uncertain and KVN juggling multiple fires, Mega 158 is in a wait-and-watch mode. Everyone’s hoping the megastar announces a fresh start date soon, because when Chiru is on screen, it’s always worth the wait.
