There have been strong rumours that director Bobby was planning to rope in Mohanlal for a key role in his upcoming film with Megastar Chiranjeevi, tentatively titled #ChiruBobby2. The project, announced some time ago, generated considerable buzz due to the possibility of a high-profile collaboration between two stalwarts of Indian cinema. However, the latest developments suggest that this casting may no longer materialise.

According to industry sources, the film’s budget has reportedly been scaled down significantly, leading the makers to revisit and restructure the storyline. As part of this recalibration, key characters are said to be rewritten to align with the revised scale of the project.

While Mohanlal shares a close personal bond with Chiranjeevi, securing him for a substantial role is said to be financially challenging under the new budget constraints. Reports indicate that Mohanlal commands a fee exceeding ₹30 crore even for a supporting role, making it difficult for the makers to accommodate him unless the appearance is limited to a brief cameo.

Given these constraints, the team is now believed to be exploring alternatives within the Telugu film industry. Sources suggest that a prominent Telugu star may be considered for the role instead. There is also speculation that the makers could approach an actor willing to take on the part without remuneration, purely out of respect and admiration for Chiranjeevi.

In Waltair Veerayya, Ravi Teja played a pivotal role and was paid a substantial remuneration. However, with financial dynamics now being different, the makers of #ChiruBobby2 appear to be adopting a more cost-conscious and pragmatic approach to casting and production.
