Megastar Chiranjeevi is riding high on the success of his Sankranti release ‘Waltair Veerayya’. This regular commercial entertainer turned out to be the biggest hit in his career and gave a huge relief to the legendary star after a huge debacle like ‘Acharya’ and an average flick like ‘Godfather’. As we know, he made a comeback to films with ‘Kaththi’ remake and named it ‘Khaidi No 150’.
His ‘Godfather’ is a remake of ‘Lucifer’ while his upcoming film ‘Bholaa Shankar’ is the remake of Ajith’s super hit movie ‘Vedhalam’. Despite all the remakes, it is a straight film that gave him his biggest hit. Chiru’s fans are expecting only straight films from him and remakes are not getting a positive response these days.
Sources say that Megastar is looking out for fresh concepts and entertaining films these days. Reports suggest that he gave ‘Bimbisara’ director Vashishta the green signal and is even in talks with a few other directors as well. His fans are quite happy that Megastar is withdrawing from remakes for now. We need to wait and see who gets a chance to work with Megastar in the coming days.
Coming to ‘Bholaa Shankar’, the movie’s cast includes Chiranjeevi, Tamannaah, Keerthy Suresh, Raghu Babu, Rao Ramesh, Murali Sharma, Ravi Shankar, Vennela Kishore, Tulasi, Pragathi, Sri Mukhi, Bithiri Sathi, Satya, Getup Srinu, Rashmi Gautam, Uttej, Prabhas Seenu and others. Mahati Swara Sagar scores music, while Dudley cranks the camera. Story supervision is by Satyanand and dialogues are by Thirupathi Mamidala, wherein Marthand K Venkatesh takes care of editing and AS Prakash is the production designer. Anil Sunkara is bankrolling this project while Meher Ramesh is directing it.
