The craze surrounding megastar Chiranjeevi’s 150th film has helped it to generate staggering pre-release business. This is not limited just to the Telugu states but is being witnessed in overseas as well.

So, how much Khaidi No 150 has to collect for break even in overseas? As per trade analysts, the megastar starrer has to collect at least $1.8 million to attain break-even status. It means that the film needs to become at least a blockbuster to get the tag of a safe venture.

The target, of course, is huge but as the film marks the return of megastar after almost a decade, mega fans and common movie goers as well are quite excited to watch his fights, dances, and action on big screen.

Sankranthi 2017 is the D-Day.

Megastar Chiranjeevi is currently busy with the shooting of his next film in the direction of V V Vinayak. This is being made on Konidela Productions Company and Ram Charan is the producer. The film is the official remake of Kaththi. The latest news from the film nagar is that Chiranjeevi will be starring in a film to be produced by Allu Aravind which will start after the completion of “Khaidi No 150”, Allu Aravind has been making plans for the same already and Boyapati Srinu might direct the film. But no one was finalized for the film.

“Khaidi No 150”, a remake of Tamil blockbuster “Kaththi”, which was directed by A R Muragadoss. There are several directors and producers who are waiting to work with Chiranjeevi now after the completion of Khaidi No 150. A clarity on the same will be coming in some days.

Ram Charan has the other day announced that ‘Khaidi No 150’ is the title of megastar Chiranjeevi’s 150th film. Now, mixed reactions and discussions have been witnessed on social media.

While mega fans seem to be happy with a catchy title, a section of fans opine that a more powerful title should have been opted as it is Chiru’s comeback film after a gap of 9 years. Anti-fans are also expressing different opinions, mostly negative. Response from national movie lovers is mixed with a few liking it and others rebuking the makers for choosing such a silly title claiming ‘Bruce Lee’ was the actual 150th film of Chiru.

Makers, however, feel that these kinds of discussions are common about the movie of a star like Chiru.

A grand function is organized this evening, and all the mega heroes except Pawan Kalyan are expected to attend.

Megastar Chiranjeevi’s elder daughter Sushmita has performed special prayers seeking the success of the actor’s 150th film.

On Sunday, Susmita went to Kanipakam to organize special prayers in Varasiddhi Vinayaka Swamy temple. She sought the blessings of God Vinayaka in making the comeback film of Chiru a historical one. All India Chiru fans association president Swami Naidu and several others participated in the event.

Swamy revealed, ‘we have decided to conduct special prayers for nine days ahead of megastar’s birthday on August 22. We have started from Kanaipakam and will do prayers in the two Telugu states, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. On 22nd, the last day, special prayers will be performed in Film Nagar Temple. Plantation of 1 lakh saplings and blood donation camps will also be held across the states in a grand manner.’

Megastar Chiranjeevi, who is making his grand comeback to silver screen with the much excited 150th film, has started smashing the pre-release business records set by younger heroes.

The film is set for release for Sankranthi 2017. Even though five months is left for the release, distributors from all regions have already started lobbying for the rights. As per latest reports, East Godavari rights have been pocketed by Anusri films by shelling out Rs 5.5 Cr, which is a huge amount.

Rs 7.2 cr is being quoted by two parties to grab the rights of Vizag area. Few distributors from Overseas have already offered Rs 12 Cr for the rights, but the deal is not fixed yet. The mentioned numbers are gigantic, but they still look small before the stardom of megastar, who ruled Tollywood for two decades before venturing into politics.

Here is the latest update on megastar Chiranjeevi’s 150th film whose shooting is currently underway.

The second schedule of this most eagerly awaited comeback film of Chiru is underway at Singappakonda village, on the outskirts of Hyderabad.

As for the latest updates, some of the photos of Chiranjeevi on the sets of his 150th film are gone viral, in which he is seen wearing a prisoner uniform. The interesting thing is the prisoner uniform has ‘No 150’ appearing on it, which in-turn created a lot of buzz. If the reports are to be believed, the makers are considering the title “Khaidi No 150” for this upcoming flick. The word Khaidi is very lucky for Chiru, earlier his “Khaidi” and “Khaidi No 786” are big hits. An official confirmation is yet to be made.

Noted art director Thota Tarani is currently busy in erecting a prison set at Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad for megastar Chiranjeevi’s 150th film.

The much-awaited film is all set to go on floors on June 20. The first schedule will be canned in the jail set in RFC. The sequences of Chiru escaping from jail will be canned.

It is known that the film tentatively titled ‘Kathilantodu’ is the remake of Vijay’s ‘Katthi’. In the original, the jailbreak sequence was canned in Kolkata but for the Telugu version, it is canned at a specially erected set in RFC.

VV Vinayak and the team is currently busy chalking out plans to shoot each and every sequence as a classic to make the comeback film of megastar nothing short of a blockbuster. Ram Charan is producing the film, which is targeted for Sankranthi 2017 release.

Bengaluru actress Anushka Shetty has been ruling the southern film industry for the past few years.

She has proved her mettle at box office by collecting crores with heroine-oriented films. The saucy seductress is currently busy with the shooting of Baahubali 2, S3 and Bhagmathi. The yoga beauty is also in talks to play the lead heroine in Lawrence starrer ‘Chandramukhi 2’, Ajith’s new film and megastar Chiranjeevi’s 150th film.

Since she can’t allot her dates to all the above films, she most probably may give green signal to Chiranjeevi’s landmark film. As per sources, this film might just be her last.

Anushka’s parents have been looking for a suitable groom for the top actress for two years but the hottie has been busy with handful of films. It seems that Anushka has now agreed for marriage due to the pressure of family.

Bad news for fans of Anushka for sure.

The regular shooting of megastar Chiranjeevi’s 150th film titled ‘Kathilantodu’ is all set to kick start from June.

The script work has already finished and the process of casting is underway. Even though the name of Nayanthara was heard initially, now latest reports revealed that top actress Anushka might grab the opportunity to romance Megastar in the landmark film.

A source from the film’s unit revealed that Anushka has agreed to act in the film, but she is yet to sign on the dotted line. As she is already busy with the shooting of Baahubali 2, Singam 3 and Bhagmathi, her dates have to be worked out.

It may be noted that Anushka had danced to an item song in Megastar’s ‘Stalin’, which was released a decade ago. She looks perfectly suitable opposite megastar, and her presence will bring mileage to the already much awaited film.

It looks like the makers of Chiranjeevi 150th film are working hard round the clock to bring the best on board for the movie. Ram Charan is producing the film on Konidela Production Company. The film is the official remake of Tamil super hit film, Kathi. The makers already roped in R Rathnavelu for the cinematography. Devi Sri Prasad is going to score the music for the film. Now, the female hunt is going on, and they wanted to rope in the best actress from South. On the other side, there is buzz that Jagapathi Babu will play the lead antagonist in the film.

The Film Nagar sources are strongly revealing that Chiranjeevi wanted Jaggu Bhai to play the villain in the film, and VV Vinayak has made few changes to Villain role to make it look more powerful. An official confirmation on the same will be out soon. The film is slated for a release next year.

Mega Star Chiranjeevi is all set to make his comeback in a grand manner with the film Kathilantodu, the official remake of AR Muragadoss and Vijay’s Kathi. VV Vinayak will be directing the film. Mega Power Star Ram Charan is going to produce the film on Konidela Production Company. Kathilantodu is the title of the film. The film’s official launch took place in a grand manner and the makers announced that the regular shoot of the film will begin by the end of May. But, here is a disappointing news for all the Mega fans that there is further delay in the film to take off.

Apparently for the reasons best known to the film unit, they have decided to push the start date of the film’s shoot. The film’s regular shoot will now begin by the end of June or the first week of July. The film unit is still in search of a heroine for the film. Devi Sri Prasad is the music director. If everything goes well, the film will release for next year’s Sankranthi.
