Not every big-star collaboration makes it to the floor. On Chiranjeevi’s 71st birthday, “Sardar 2” director PS Mithran revealed a film with the Megastar that was once in motion — and quietly shelved.
What PS Mithran Actually Said
Speaking with Cinema Vikatan, Mithran shared that he was initially set to work with Chiranjeevi right after “Vishwambhara.” He had narrated a full story to the actor, but the project couldn’t move forward simply because their schedules didn’t align. Mithran also clarified that this script is entirely different from the one he later narrated to Yash, and confirmed the Chiranjeevi script is still with him — leaving the door open for a future collaboration.
Sardar 2: Key Details
| Detail | Info |
|---|---|
| Planned collaboration | Chiranjeevi + PS Mithran, post-Vishwambhara |
| Reason it stalled | Scheduling conflicts |
| Script status | Still with Mithran; possible for the future |
| Reported backer | KVN Productions (also backing Kaaka) |
| Mithran’s current film | Sardar 2, releasing September 10, 2026 |
What Mithran Is Working On Now
Mithran is currently directing “Sardar 2,” the sequel to 2022’s espionage hit “Sardar.” Karthi reprises his dual role as Vijay Prakash and his father Chandra Bose, alias Sardar, while SJ Suryah plays the antagonist, Black Dagger. The film also stars Malavika Mohanan, Ashika Ranganath, and Rajisha Vijayan, and continues the original’s story of a son uncovering the truth about his father’s sacrifice as a wrongly branded traitor.
Why This Reveal Matters
Shelved projects between major stars and in-demand directors rarely stay buried for good — and Mithran confirming the script still exists keeps real speculation alive, especially with KVN Productions already backing Chiranjeevi’s upcoming “Kaaka.” For fans, it’s a reminder that Telugu cinema’s biggest team-ups often take years of scheduling puzzle-solving before they finally land.
