Young director Vassishta Mallidi burst onto the scene with a resounding bang. His debut feature, the Telugu fantasy drama ‘Bimbisara,’ starring Kalyan Ram, defied expectations and became a roaring success. Initially met with skepticism due to its budget constraints, ‘Bimbisara’ captivated audiences with its powerful story, captivating screenplay, and stunning visuals. The film’s immense profitability cemented Vassishta’s position as a promising talent to watch.
However, a surprise turn of events unfolded when Kalyam Ram announced ‘Bimbisara 2.’ Much to the surprise of many, Vassishta Mallidi opted out of directing the sequel. This led to speculation and intrigue, with whispers about the reason behind his decision.
Recently, light was shed on this curious development. News reports revealed that Vassishta had been offered the opportunity to direct a film with none other than the legendary Telugu megastar, Chiranjeevi. This project, titled ‘Viswambhara,’ proved too irresistible for Vassishta, prompting him to step away from ‘Bimbisara 2’ and embrace the chance of a lifetime.
‘Viswambhara’ promises to be a cinematic spectacle of epic proportions. The sheer scale of the production hints at an ambitious vision. Reports mention a staggering 13 sets constructed at Annapurna Studios, specifically for the film’s shoot. Chiranjeevi himself is set to begin filming in February, signifying the project’s imminent progress.
UV Creations, a renowned production house known for backing high-budget projects, helms ‘Viswambhara.’ The concept video released earlier generated a wave of positive buzz, further igniting excitement around the film.
Adding to the allure is the rumored strong female cast. While official confirmation is awaited, speculation suggests that Trisha Krishnan and Mrunal Thakur are two leading contenders for pivotal roles. Renowned music director Keeravani and acclaimed cinematographer Chota K Naidu join forces to elevate the cinematic experience.
The project’s anticipated release during the festive season of Sankranti in 2025 paints a picture of a carefully planned, grand cinematic release.
Vassishta’s bold decision to prioritize ‘Viswambhara’ over ‘Bimbisara 2’ speaks volumes about his hunger for challenging and prestigious projects. This opportunity to collaborate with Chiranjeevi at the peak of his career marks a pivotal moment in the young director’s journey.
With its high production values, talented crew, and the undeniable star power of Chiranjeevi, ‘Viswambhara’ has all the ingredients to become a landmark Telugu film event. As filming progresses and more details emerge, one thing is certain: Vassishta Mallidi’s gamble has placed him at the forefront of Telugu cinema, and ‘Viswambhara’ promises to be a cinematic spectacle worth waiting for.
