Thandel – Official Trailer | Naga Chaitanya, Sai Pallavi | Chandoo Mondeti | Devi Sri Prasad

Even in his 60s, Megastar Chiranjeevi is keeping himself busy with back-to-back films. Having already wrapped up the shoot for Vishwambhara, he is now working on a commercial entertainer directed by hitmaker Anil Ravipudi. Among these two, Vishwambhara is set to hit theatres first.

The film has generated high expectations as it marks Chiranjeevi’s collaboration with the young and talented director Vassishta, known for Bimbisara. Moreover, it’s a socio-fantasy genre — a space Chiranjeevi is returning to after a long time. However, the excitement took a hit when the makers released the teaser, which drew heavy criticism for its VFX quality. The trolling was so intense that the production team decided to change the VFX company altogether.

Now, reports suggest that the updated VFX work for Vishwambhara has reached a satisfactory stage. As part of their promotional plans, the makers are reportedly gearing up to release a brand-new teaser along with the official release date on Chiranjeevi’s birthday, August 22. The teaser has already been cut, and sources close to Vassishta say those who have watched it praised his work.

It looks like Chiranjeevi’s birthday gift for fans from Vishwambhara is ready. But Anil Ravipudi, who is directing Mega157, isn’t planning to sit quietly — he is reportedly preparing content that will outshine Vishwambhara’s teaser as a birthday treat for fans. It remains to be seen which director will impress the Megastar’s fans more this August 22.
