Chiranjeevi’s 70th birthday surprise: Actor unveils 'Mega158' poster; Director Bobby Kolli promises a rampage

On his 70th birthday, Megastar Chiranjeevi gave his fans a gift they will long remember — the unveiling of the concept poster for his next film with director Bobby Kolli. Tentatively titled 'Mega158' and also referred to as ChiruBobby2, the film marks the duo’s second collaboration after their 2023 blockbuster Waltair Veerayya.

The poster is anything but subtle: a blood-stained axe has been rammed into a cracked wall, smears of blood marking the surface, with even what appear to be bullet marks scattered across it. The tagline, “The blade that set the bloody benchmark,” sets the tone for what promises to be an intense action spectacle.

Bobby Kolli’s bold promise

Director Bobby Kolli, who has developed a reputation for crafting unapologetic mass entertainers, took to X to share the poster, writing: “Mega158 is going to be a rampage in every aspect.

Thrilled to share this massive journey with all the fans!” His words have already sent a wave of excitement through Chiranjeevi’s massive fanbase, who are eager to see the megastar step into another larger-than-life role.
