Megastar Chiranjeevi is currently immersed in his upcoming project "Vishwambhara," directed by Vashishta, which aims to showcase the vintage charm of Chiru. The film is set to dazzle audiences with its stunning visuals, as Vashishta is meticulously planning to offer a visual extravaganza. Produced by UV Creations, the film boasts a substantial budget ranging from 150 to 200 crores and is slated for a pan-India release by the next Sankranti festival.

Despite experiencing a setback with a previous film, Chiranjeevi has not yet confirmed any projects beyond "Vishwambhara." Directors such as Harish Shankar and Anil Ravipudi are reportedly in consideration. However, there is also interest from renowned Kollywood director Hari, known for his mass-oriented films like the "Singam" series, to collaborate with Chiru.

While many Tamil directors venture into Telugu cinema, Hari has not explored this territory until now. However, Hari's recent interest in Telugu films, particularly in working with Chiranjeevi, has sparked discussions. Reportedly, Hari has a compelling script tailored for Chiru and is eager to narrate it to the Megastar. Talks suggest that a producer is also on board for this potential collaboration.

It remains uncertain whether Chiranjeevi will agree to work with Hari, as he has previously preferred Telugu directors over Tamil ones. The failure of the Godfather remake with Mohan Raja may also influence Chiru's decision. Nonetheless, if Hari's script resonates with Chiranjeevi and considering the director's solid track record, there is a possibility of a successful collaboration between the two.
