Tamil star Suriya’s upcoming film Kanguva is all set for a grand pan-India release on November 14. With the release date approaching, Suriya and the Kanguva team are actively promoting the film through various events, including a recent pre-release event. At this event, special guest Rajamouli mentioned that he once considered making a film with Suriya, sparking widespread curiosity. Fans are now speculating which film this might have been. Let’s take a closer look.



Which Film Was It?



The mega-blockbuster Magadheera (Ram Charan) catapulted Charan’s career to new heights under Rajamouli’s direction. According to the latest buzz, Rajamouli initially wanted to cast Suriya in Magadheera. While there were strong rumors about Rajamouli wanting Suriya for Baahubali, these rumors were debunked by Rajamouli’s father and writer Vijayendra Prasad, who clarified that Baahubali was designed specifically for Prabhas. However, it’s believed that Rajamouli initially considered Suriya for Magadheera. At the Kanguva pre-release event, Rajamouli praised Suriya’s Ghajini, which was released in 2005—four years before Magadheera in 2009. Considering that Magadheera took three years to complete, it’s likely Rajamouli had the script ready by 2006. Based on these timelines, fans speculate that Magadheera was the film Rajamouli envisioned for Suriya.







What If That Had Happened?



If Suriya had done Magadheera instead of Ram Charan, Charan’s career might have looked very different. After his debut with Chirutha, which received moderate success, Charan struggled to establish a strong foothold until Magadheera cemented his position in the industry. Even though he acted in several films after Magadheera, he didn’t experience another significant breakthrough until Rangasthalam in 2018. Industry analysts and fans believe that without Magadheera, Charan’s career might not have reached the heights it did.







‘Missed Chance to Work with Suriya’



At the Kanguva pre-release event, Rajamouli expressed admiration for Kollywood actor Suriya, crediting him as an inspiration for his pan-India films. He acknowledged Suriya’s impact on promoting Telugu cinema globally, citing Suriya’s promotion for Ghajini as a case study on how actors from different industries can connect with Telugu audiences. Rajamouli explained that Suriya’s efforts inspired him while creating Baahubali but noted that, despite wanting to work with Suriya, the opportunity never materialized.

‘Told the Story… It Didn’t Work Out’



In a recent interview, Tamil star Karthi shared an interesting story about Rajamouli’s attempt to collaborate with him and Suriya. During the promotions for Satyam Sundaram, Karthi, in a conversation with director Gautham Menon, revealed that Rajamouli had once narrated a story to him and Suriya. “Rajamouli Sir told us a story that was good, but the movie didn’t materialize,” Karthi explained. Fans were stunned, wondering why they would pass on a Rajamouli film. If this project had taken off, it might have further elevated the careers of both Suriya and Karthi.

Rajamouli’s Big ‘What If’: Suriya Was Almost Cast in Magadheera – How It Could’ve Changed Telugu Cinema


Stepping into the industry as the son of megastar Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan has carved out his own star status in Tollywood. Making his debut with the movie 'Chirutha', he garnered an industry hit with his second film 'Magadheera'. His performance in 'Rangasthalam' proved his unrivaled acting skills, and with 'RRR', he rose to global fame, proving himself a worthy son to his father. In continuation of his success, Ram Charan is set to achieve another rare honor.



Wax Statue in Singapore



Actor Ram Charan is set to receive a rare honor as his wax statue will be established in the prestigious Madame Tussauds. His statue, along with that of his pet dog Rhyme, will be placed in the Singapore museum. The photoshoot related to this has already been completed. The Tussauds team announced this news on the IIFA stage, and the related video is going viral online. Mega fans are extremely happy about this, expressing joy that he is progressing leaps and bounds just like Chiranjeevi.

First Telugu Hero Record!



Several Tollywood star heroes already have their wax statues at Madame Tussauds. Compared to them, Charan's statue this time is quite special because it will be placed in the Madame Tussauds museum in London. It is notable that he will be the first Telugu actor to step into Madame Tussauds' home in London. This unique honor that Ram Charan is about to receive is a testament to his love for animals, as evidenced by the simultaneous placement of his pet dog Rhyme’s statue.







Before Charan...



The first Telugu hero to make it to Madame Tussauds was the pan-India rebel star Prabhas, whose statue is placed in the Bangkok museum. Tollywood superstar Mahesh Babu’s statue is in the Singapore Madame Tussauds, where they also have a statue of Sridevi, styled after her appearance in the Bollywood hit 'Mr. India'. Actress Kajal Aggarwal’s wax figure is also there. Recently, the icon star Allu Arjun’s statue, styled as his character Pushparaj, was set up in the Dubai Madame Tussauds.







Bollywood Stars' Statues



Several Bollywood celebrities also have their statues in Madame Tussauds. These include statues of Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, former Miss World Aishwarya Rai, muscleman Salman Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, star couple Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, and veteran heroine Madhuri Dixit.







Charan’s Future Projects



Ram Charan is currently working on 'Game Changer' under the direction of Tamil director Shankar, which is creating strong buzz as a Christmas release. He will also act under the direction of 'Uppena' fame Buchi Babu in 'RC16', which is set to start shooting soon. After the release of 'Pushpa 2', he is slated to work on a project with director Sukumar, which has already been officially announced.






Ram Charan Set to Make History with Madame Tussauds Wax Statue in London!


Renowned music composer A.R. Rahman invited actor Ram Charan to visit the Kadapa Dargah on Monday (November 18), where he inaugurated the 80th National Mushaira Ghazal (Urdu poet) conference. Initially, along with director Buchi Babu Sana, Charan visited the Vijaya Durga Devi Temple in Kadapa. There, he placed the script of his upcoming movie ‘RC16’ at the deity’s feet and conducted prayers. Later, at the dargah, Charan shared his connection with the place from his ‘Magadheera’ times. However, his visit to the dargah while wearing the Ayyappa mala has become controversial, with several netizens opposing it on social media. Mega fans are responding robustly to the criticisms.



Warm Welcome for Charan..



Mega Power Star Ram Charan (Ram Charan Kadapa Dargah) left Hyderabad Begumpet Airport to Kadapa on Monday night (November 19) at 7 PM. Upon arrival at the Kadapa airport, fans gave him a grand welcome. Aware of his arrival, a large number of Mega fans and Janasena workers created a buzz at the airport. As soon as Charan stepped out, he was greeted with loud cheers. He then headed to the Durga Devi Temple, followed by a large convoy of fans who celebrated his visit enthusiastically. Fans who arrived at the temple and dargah before Charan also gave him a grand welcome there. Videos related to this have gone viral on the internet.

Widespread Trolls on the Net



Currently, Ram Charan is wearing an Ayyappa mala. In this context, his visit to a dargah associated with another religion while wearing the mala is being questioned by many. They are accusing him of disrespecting both Hindus and Muslims. Some comments suggest that religious obligations must be adhered to by everyone, regardless of their status. They question if Rahman would accept an invitation to visit Tirumala, posing, "Can Rahman go there?" and argue that Charan has lost respect due to this single act.

Strong Responses from Charan’s Fans!



Charan's fans are vigorously defending him against the trolls on the internet. They are clarifying that this isn’t the first time someone wearing an Ayyappa mala has visited the dargah. They remind people that devotees first visit the Vavar Juma Masjid in Erumeli before heading to the sacred Sabarimala. They also share videos related to this. Some question if the Constitution prohibits Hindus from visiting other religious sites, noting that prominent figures like Prime Minister Narendra Modi and UP CM Adityanath have visited dargahs because they respect other religions. Fans criticize the trend of using celebrity issues to gain popularity, stating that it has become quite fashionable recently.

Ram Charan's Dargah Visit Sparks Debate Amid Ayyappa Mala Controversy: Fans and Critics Clash Online


Cast: Dev Gill, Chitra Shukla, Tejaswini Pandit, Praveen Tarde, Posani Krishna Murali, Sayaji Shinde, Prabhakar, and others



Director: Peta Trikoti



Screenplay and Dialogue: Prasad Varma



Music: Ravi Basrur



Editor: Tammi Raju



Producers: Dev Gill, Mihir Sudhir, Ashwani Kumar Mishra



Release Date: August 30, 2024



Actor Dev Gill, known for his role as a villain in Magadheera, has gained recognition in several Telugu films. His latest film as a protagonist, 'Aho! Vikramarka,directed by Trikoti, is released on August 30. How did the film turn out? Did hero Dev Gill succeed? Let's find out in this review.







Plot



In Pune, 1200 laborers from a colony disappear without a trace for 25 years, leaving their families in despair, not knowing whether they are alive or dead. During this period, Vikramarka (Dev Gill) is transferred to the Pune police station as an SI. Initially, he colluded with the drug mafia led by Bilal (Posani Krishna Murali). Influenced by his girlfriend Archana (Chitra Shukla), he transforms into an honest police officer. What incident prompted Vikramarka's change? What happened to the missing laborers? Was Vikramarka able to save them? What challenges did he face in this process? This is the story.







Performances



Dev Gill has shown his mark in action scenes. With experience playing villains in various films, he seemed to handle action effortlessly. However, he struggled significantly in love scenes and emotional sequences, failing to express emotions convincingly. Chitra Shukla delivered a solid performance as the heroine, fitting well into her role. Praveen and Tejaswini Pandit, as the villain and ACP Bhavani respectively, were compelling. Posani Krishna Murali and Sayaji Shinde impressed with their seasoned acting. The rest of the cast was satisfactory.







Direction



Directed by Peta Trikoti, the film reminds one of Telugu hits like 'Temper' and 'Pataas.' However, the plot lacks novelty, and the narration isn't engaging. The director failed to extract compelling performances corresponding to the story's demands. The love track between the hero and heroine feels quite tedious, and Dev Gill's romantic looks recall his villain roles. Nonetheless, Trikoti made an effort to showcase his style in the fight scenes, which are somewhat interesting when the hero confronts the villains.







Technically...



The art department performed well. Ravi Basrur's music was underwhelming, though the background score was passable in places. The production values were high, with no compromise on the budget.

Aho Vikramarka Movie Review: Dev Gill's 'Aho! Vikramarka' Struggles to Impress


Among the nation's esteemed directors, Rajamouli holds a top position. From the beginning of his career to the present, he has maintained a streak of success without a single flop. Rajamouli is a master at grasping the pulse of the audience and crafting films accordingly. To date, each of the 12 films released under Rajamouli's direction has achieved unique acclaim and remains evergreen in the eyes of the audience. However, many directors have attempted to emulate Rajamouli's style and failed. They tried making films with similar themes to Rajamouli's and ended up burning their fingers. Recently, Kanguva also followed Rajamouli's pattern but ended up disappointing the audience. What are the reasons for this? What other films have faced setbacks by following Rajamouli's approach? Let's find out.



Did They Err by Comparing It to 'Baahubali'?



The film Kanguva, directed by Shiva starring Suriya, was released worldwide on November 14. The pre-release event of this film invited Rajamouli, and the promotions hyped it as what 'Baahubali' is to Tollywood, 'Kanguva' would be to Kollywood, setting high expectations. However, post-release, the situation seems to have turned upside down. Viewers felt that the film lacked the substance found in 'Baahubali' and criticized director Shiva for his flawed storytelling. Rajamouli is known for evoking strong emotions, but Kanguva failed to resonate emotionally with the audience. The characters could not engage the audience on a journey, and viewers commented that it's worth watching the film only for Suriya's performance.







Those Films Too Were the Same!



Like 'Kanguva,' several past films have tried to replicate Rajamouli's formula and ended up being unsuccessful. The movie 'Sakthi' (2011) featuring Jr. NTR and directed by Meher Ramesh, aimed to captivate like 'Magadheera' but flopped. 'Sakthi' also revolved around a reincarnation theme but failed to capture the Telugu audience. 'Brahmastra,' starring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, despite its large budget, failed to impress due to its inadequate content and visual spectacle. Even 'Ponniyin Selvan,' despite garnering positive reviews in Kollywood, could not create a sensation and only the first part met expectations while the second part did not live up to the hype. Bollywood’s 'Shamshera,' set against a British backdrop similar to RRR, also faced a terrible defeat. In Tamil, 'Puli' and in Malayalam, 'Marakkar,' although creating significant buzz in the style of a Rajamouli film, failed to succeed.







The Secret to Rajamouli’s Success!



When people think of a Rajamouli film, they envision a stellar cast, massive budget, spectacular graphics, and an evergreen story. These elements are considered reasons for his films’ sensational success. However, these factors are just key components that aid success, not the core of it. Rajamouli's real formula lies in the emotional drama—something many films miss and only Rajamouli manages to carry through. He places significant emphasis on emotions in his films, which he believes are crucial for success. Rajamouli creates an emotional bond between the viewer and the characters, drawing the audience deeply into his movies. This engagement makes the characters linger with the viewers, even after leaving the cinema, prompting them to revisit the film. This emotional connection is something many directors struggle to emulate.







Rajamouli Busy with Upcoming Projects



Following RRR, Rajamouli is set to direct a new film featuring Mahesh Babu, known as SSMB 29, which will be a pan-world movie. This upcoming film will showcase Mahesh in a never-before-seen look, set against the backdrop of the Amazon forests, with significant location scouting happening in South Africa. British actress Naomi Scott has been confirmed as the heroine. The initial schedule will be completed in a Varanasi set in Hyderabad, after which the second schedule will move to South Africa.






Why Trying to Imitate Rajamouli’s Magic Backfires: The Lessons 'Kanguva' and Other Films Learned the Hard Way


Compared to the past few months, August has seen significant releases featuring big stars, and the final week of August is no exception with the release of a star hero's film.

Saripodhaa Sanivaaram



The latest film starring Natural Star Nani, directed by Vivek Athreya, is "Saripodhaa Sanivaaram." Priyanka Arul Mohan plays the heroine, and prominent Tamil actor S.J. Suryah has taken on the role of the antagonist. This movie, which has already completed its filming, is set to meet the audience on August 29. The recently released trailer has significantly heightened expectations.







Aho! Vikramaarka



Actor Dev Gill, known for his role as a villain in "Magadheera," has gained recognition in several Telugu films. He stars as the lead in the latest film "Aho! Vikramaarka," directed by Trikoti. This film, which has also completed its filming, is scheduled for release on August 30. Dev Gill will be seen as a powerful police officer, with action scenes expected to be a highlight of the movie.







Mass Re-release



"Mass," one of the blockbuster hits of Nagarjuna's career, is set for a re-release.

In celebration of Nagarjuna's birthday on August 29, "Mass" is being re-released, much to the excitement of Akkineni fans.







Releases on OTT Platforms



IC814: The Kandahar Hijack



Based on one of the largest hijackings in the world, the series "IC814: The Kandahar Hijack" is directed by Anubhav Sinha. Starring Vijay Varma, Aravind Swamy, Dia Mirza, and Naseeruddin Shah, this series begins streaming on Netflix from August 29. In 1999, Indian Airlines Flight 814 with 188 passengers was hijacked by terrorists. The passengers were held hostage for nearly 7 days. This incident, one of the most significant in global aviation history, serves as the basis for this highly anticipated series.

This Week’s OTT &amp;&nbsp; Telugu Movie Releases (29th &amp; 30th&nbsp; August)


Multi-starrers are gaining immense popularity in Tollywood, with top stars showing keen interest in such projects. Following the success of films like 'RRR' (NTR - Ram Charan), 'Waltair Veerayya' (Chiranjeevi - Ravi Teja), 'Salaar' (Prabhas - Prithviraj Sukumaran), and 'Kalki' (Prabhas, Amitabh, Kamal), another mind-blowing multi-starrer is reportedly in the works. There is strong buzz that South Indian stars Ram Charan and Suriya are set to collaborate on a film.



Suriya as the Antagonist to Ram Charan!



A vigorous campaign is underway about an upcoming multi-starrer featuring global star Ram Charan Teja and Tamil star hero Suriya. Hanu Raghavapudi, known for his expertise in crafting love stories, is said to be directing this project. The story has reportedly impressed Suriya already, and it is now awaiting Ram Charan's approval. If Ram Charan agrees, this high-profile project is expected to take off, promising intense fight sequences between Charan and Suriya that could shatter box office records, as fans are eagerly posting online.







After a Film with Prabhas!



Director Hanu Raghavapudi is already set to announce a major project with Pan-India star Prabhas. Discussions about this film, which will reportedly revolve around the Razakars movement before independence, have just concluded. The film, to be produced by Mythri Movie Makers and set to be titled 'Fauji,' promises to be a full-fledged action drama, a departure from Hanu's previous films. The focus will shift to the Ram Charan-Suriya project after the completion of this film with Prabhas.







Charan-Suriya Busy Busy



Currently, both Ram Charan and Suriya are busy with their respective films. Ram Charan is working on 'Game Changer,' while Suriya is involved in a project titled 'Kanguva,' set for a global release on October 10. Ram Charan also has a promising chance to entertain everyone in December with 'Game Changer.' Following this, he is slated to work on a sports drama directed by Buchi Babu, where Janhvi Kapoor has been locked in as the female lead. This film, tentatively titled 'Peddi,' is being co-produced by Mythri Movie Makers and Vriddhi Cinemas, and Kannada star actor Shivaraj Kumar is expected to play a significant role.







Mega Multi-Starrer Loading..!



Director Harish Shankar, closely associated with the Mega family, made significant remarks during the promotion of his film 'Mr. Bachchan.' He responded to why he hasn't directed a Pan-India film yet, revealing that he has been preparing a story for Pawan Kalyan, Ram Charan, and Chiranjeevi. If this project takes off, it is expected to become the biggest Pan-India film ever, surpassing all others, as per the enthusiastic posts by Mega fans. They are eagerly hoping that this project will start shooting soon. Previously, Chiru and Ram Charan acted together in 'Acharya,' and Chiranjeevi appeared in special cameos for Charan in films like 'Bruce Lee' and 'Magadheera.' Similarly, Pawan Kalyan made cameo appearances in 'Shankar Dada MBBS' and 'Shankar Dada Zindabad.'






Ram Charan - Suriya: Is the Stage Set for a Multi-Starrer with Ram Charan and Suriya?


The 'Mega Family' in Tollywood, known for its substantial fan base, has launched many stars under megastar Chiranjeevi. Present-day industry luminaries like Pawan Kalyan, Ram Charan, and Allu Arjun are all members of this illustrious family. Films from the Mega Family consistently create a buzz in Tollywood. Just imagine the excitement if Chiru, Pawan, and Charan starred together in a multistarrer! The prospect is thrilling and may soon become a reality, as director Harish Shankar is actively working towards this collaboration. Let's explore more about these developments.



'The Ultimate Pan-India Release'...



Among the directors close to the Mega Family, Harish Shankar is notable. He has openly declared himself a fan of Pawan Kalyan. During the promotion of his film 'Mr. Bachchan', Harish Shankar made some significant comments in response to why he hasn't yet made a Pan-India film. He stated, "You can’t just write a story for the sake of calling it Pan-India. 'Pushpa' wasn’t made as a Pan-India film; neither was 'Kantara'. They told local stories that the Pan-India audience accepted. It should happen organically. I have been working on a line for Kalyan garu, Ram Charan, and Chiranjeevi. If made, it will be the true Pan-India film." Currently, these remarks have become the talk of Tollywood. Mega fans are eagerly posting their hopes for this film to hit the sets soon.

'Past Special Cameos'...



Megastar Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan have already appeared together in the movie 'Acharya', where Charan had a special cameo. Previously, Chiranjeevi made brief appearances in 'Bruce Lee' and 'Magadheera' to support his son. Similarly, Chiranjeevi and Pawan Kalyan have acted together in two films. Pawan Kalyan shined in a special song in 'Shankar Dada MBBS' and also shared the screen with Chiru in the climax of 'Shankar Dada Zindabad'. However, Chiru, Pawan, and Charan have never appeared together in full-length roles except in cameos. Fans have been eagerly waiting for a full-fledged Mega multi starrer film.







'Connection with the Mega Family'



Director Harish Shankar shares a strong bond with the Mega Family. Known among fans as a director who truly understands the pulse of the Mega audience, Harish has worked with four Mega heroes. He directed 'Gabbar Singh' with Power Star Pawan Kalyan, 'Duvvada Jagannadham' with Allu Arjun, 'Gaddalakonda Ganesh' with Varun Tej, and 'Subrahmanyam For Sale' with Sai Dharam Tej. His portrayal of the Mega heroes in these films has greatly pleased the fans, leading to high expectations for his direction in a multistarrer. Netizens are posting that if such a project materializes, it will undoubtedly break box office records and they are hoping it starts shooting soon.







'Reminiscent of Ustaad Bhagat Singh'&nbsp;



It is known that Pawan Kalyan and Harish Shankar are working on 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh'. The filming of this movie faced interruptions due to Pawan Kalyan's busy political schedule in Andhra Pradesh, leading Harish Shankar to work on 'Mr. Bachchan' with Ravi Teja in the meantime. At a recent press meet, Harish Shankar made key remarks about 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh', expressing anticipation for Pawan Kalyan's availability to complete the film. He assured that this film would be memorable for fans for many years and fully deliver on the expectations audiences have from a Pawan Kalyan movie.

Chiranjeevi starred in the Telugu hit 'Attaku Yamudu Ammayiki Mogudu' produced by Geetha Arts under Allu Aravind and directed by Kodandarami Reddy. Later, this film was remade in Tamil with Rajinikanth as 'Maapillai' by Allu Aravind. In this film, Megastar Chiranjeevi made a striking cameo. He appears at a temple stairs fighting a riotous mob intent on disrupting the hero's wedding. Notably, Srihari also appears in these scenes. Chiru even delivered his lines in Tamil himself. When Rajinikanth introduces his mother-in-law, Chiru whispers in his ear, "Your mother-in-law looks good!" (in Tamil) to which Rajinikanth responds jokingly, "You look like you're causing trouble! Leave now, man!" This cameo was unexpected at the time. Chiru and Rajinikanth had already acted together in several films, but this was the first time Chiru appeared in a guest role. Now, this practice is widely adopted across various industries.

<strong>Telugu Dumb Charades(Damsharas): Top 100 Movie Titles, Songs, Dialogues</strong>


There's a significant craze for multi starrer films in Tollywood. Seeing two star heroes on the same screen is a feast for the audience's eyes. In the past, such multi starrer films were made on a large scale, but recently, their frequency has decreased. Consequently, the audience also shifted their interest away from the multistarrer mania. However, after 'RRR,' the demand for such films has resurged. With the right story, Telugu stars are ready to engage in multistarrer projects again. Recently, there have been rumors about new combinations like Chiranjeevi-Pawan-Charan, Ram Charan-Suriya. Now, there's buzzing news about a Balakrishna-Ram Pothineni combo film. Let's dive into the details.



Multistarrer Loading..!



Heroes like Nandamuri Balakrishna and Ram Pothineni, who have a strong following among mass audiences, are at the forefront. Actor Balakrishna has been targeting mass audiences with his films for some time. Although Ram started his career with lover boy roles, he has recently shifted focus to action films, appearing in movies like 'iSmart Shankar,' 'Skanda,' and 'Double iSmart.' The news of these two heroes coming together for a multistarrer has stirred excitement in Tollywood. Rumors suggest that the famous production house, Mythri Movie Makers, will be producing this project, and Kannada star hero Shivaraj Kumar might also join. However, there has been no official announcement from the production company yet. If this news turns out to be true, it will indeed be a festival for mass audiences.







Good Friendship



The personal relationship between hero Ram and Nandamuri Balakrishna is well-known. This was evident during the audio function of 'Skanda,' where Balakrishna graced the event as the chief guest and shared a close bond with Ram. In his speech, Ram showered praises on Balakrishna, stating that while he delights one generation, Balakrishna continues to enchant three. Balakrishna reciprocated by lifting Ram to the skies. This friendship transcends age, and if these two star heroes come together for a film, it's expected to shatter records.







Buzz on Charan - Suriya Combo!



A multistarrer featuring Global Star Ram Charan and Tamil star hero Suriya is rumored to be in the works. Hanu Raghavapudi, known for crafting love stories, is said to be directing this film. The script has reportedly been liked by Suriya, and it’s now awaiting Ram Charan’s approval. If Ram Charan agrees, this project is all set to go on floors, promising high-voltage fight sequences that could break box office records. Fans are posting eagerly, anticipating this could be one of the biggest Pan-India projects if it materializes.







Mega Heroes in a Multistarrer!



Among the directors close to the Mega family, Harish Shankar is a notable one. During the promotion of his film 'Mr Bachchan', Harish Shankar made significant comments about why he hasn't directed a pan-India film yet. He revealed that he is preparing a story for Pawan Kalyan, Ram Charan, and Chiranjeevi, stating that if this project takes off, it would be the biggest pan-India film ever, surpassing all others. This news has the Mega fans celebrating and hoping the project goes on floors soon. Previously, Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan worked together in 'Acharya', and Chiru had special cameos in 'Bruce Lee' and 'Magadheera'. Pawan Kalyan also made brief appearances in 'Shankar Dada MBBS' and 'Shankar Dada Zindabad'.
