Everything You Need to Know About Mega158
Mega158 — also referred to as ChiruBobby2 — marks director Bobby Kolli’s second collaboration with Chiranjeevi, following their 2023 blockbuster Waltair Veerayya.

Thaman S Officially On Board — And the Team Is Hyped
Musician Thaman S was officially announced as part of the Mega158 team via social media, with the production house writing: “Welcoming the sensational musician Thaman to the explosive world of MEGA158. His MUSICAL FURY for MEGASTAR’s MASS ENERGY will create absolute carnage on the big screens.”
This reunion of Chiranjeevi and Thaman S is something fans have been waiting for. Thaman’s track record with high-octane mass entertainers speaks for itself — his pulsating background scores have a way of amplifying every punch and dramatic moment tenfold. Pair that energy with Chiranjeevi’s screen presence and you have a recipe that’s hard to get wrong.
What Delayed the Project — And Why It’s Finally Happening
The team had initially planned to begin shooting earlier, but postponed due to the actor’s knee surgery. There were also reports about Mohanlal potentially playing a pivotal role alongside Chiranjeevi, though unconfirmed reports suggest he may have opted out due to remuneration-related issues.
Now, with Thaman S and editor Ruben confirmed alongside the Chiranjeevi-Bobby Kolli axis, the project is charging ahead at full speed.
Chiranjeevi’s Packed Lineup
Chiranjeevi was last seen in Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, directed by Anil Ravipudi, which featured Nayanthara as the female lead. He has also wrapped up work on the fantasy action entertainer Viswambhara, expected to release in 2026, and has another project lined up with The Paradise director Srikanth Odela.
The Megastar is clearly in a phase where he’s pushing boundaries — both physically and creatively. To understand why Chiranjeevi commands such legendary status in Telugu cinema, Wikipedia’s profile on him is a great read.
