Bithiri Sathi Seeks Apology | International Sorry Day

As Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu (MSG) marches confidently towards the prestigious ₹300 crore gross mark, attention has once again shifted to Megastar Chiranjeevi and the exciting lineup of projects ahead for the 70-year-old icon. While fans are eagerly awaiting the release of Vishwambhara and the commencement of KS Bobby’s film, fresh details have now emerged about another highly anticipated project in the pipeline.

This upcoming film is being presented by Natural Star Nani and produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri, with Dasara director Srikanth Odela at the helm. Earlier, the announcement poster—featuring Chiranjeevi’s blood-soaked hand—created a strong buzz and set expectations for an intense narrative. Now, producer Sudhakar has offered more insight into the film’s core theme.

According to him, the project will be rooted in a gritty narrative set against a vintage 1970s backdrop, which is expected to add a raw and immersive feel to the story. Given Srikanth Odela’s proven strength with rustic settings in Dasara and the even more vintage-toned Paradise, Chiranjeevi’s transformation into a 1970s-era character has instantly become a major talking point. It remains to be seen whether the film will explore a Telangana-based setting, like Odela’s earlier works, or opt for a more neutral backdrop.

The film is expected to go on floors later this year, after Chiranjeevi completes KS Bobby’s project. Meanwhile, Srikanth Odela is also busy wrapping up Nani’s Paradise, which still has about 40% of its shoot remaining. With such a powerful team and a compelling period setting, this project is already shaping up to be one of the most intriguing films in Chiranjeevi’s career.
