Megastar Chiranjeevi rarely spills secrets, but at Varun Tej’s Kanakaraju success meet, he did exactly that. Chatting with composer Thaman about the title teaser buzz, Chiranjeevi casually asked, “Is it still named Kadiri?” — and just like that, fans got their first real clue about Mega158, his upcoming film with director Bobby Kolli.
It’s a small slip, but for Tollywood watchers, it’s massive. Here’s everything confirmed so far.
What We Know About Mega158 ?
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Working Title | Mega158 / ChiruBobby2 |
| Rumored Title | Kadiri |
| Director | Bobby Kolli |

The film is Chiranjeevi’s second outing with Bobby Kolli, and early buzz suggests Anaswara Rajan may play his on-screen daughter — though makers haven’t confirmed this officially. Thaman S is composing the music, adding another reason for fans to watch this space.
Why the Timing Matters
Dropping the title teaser on Chiranjeevi’s birthday isn’t accidental — it’s a classic Tollywood move to turn a personal milestone into a full-blown fan event. Expect first-look posters, trends, and celebration videos to flood social media that day.
Meanwhile, the Megastar isn’t slowing down. He recently featured in Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu alongside Nayanthara, now streaming on ZEE5, and has wrapped shooting for his fantasy actioner Viswambhara, expected in theatres later in 2026.
