‘Chiranjeevi finalized the script within 48 hours’: Director Srikanth Odela opens up on working with Megastar for his next

by

As a dedicated follower of Telugu cinema, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and nostalgia as I reflect on the life journey of director Srikanth Odela. His meteoric rise to fame with the hit movie “Dasara” was nothing short of remarkable, and now, he’s set to collaborate with none other than the legendary Chiranjeevi!

I remember growing up watching Chiranjeevi garu’s films, standing in lines for hours just to catch a glimpse of the megastar. So, when I heard that Srikanth Odela would be working alongside him, it felt like a dream come true. The director himself admitted that he was on cloud nine when they finalized the script within 48 hours.

The collaboration between Srikanth and Chiranjeevi is a full-circle moment for me as a fan. It’s almost surreal to think that the man who inspired me with his movies is now being presented by Nani, another star I admire deeply. The director promises a unique take on Chiranjeevi garu, showcasing him in a fresh and age-appropriate avatar – something that has me eagerly awaiting the release of this film.

In addition to his collaboration with Chiranjeevi, Srikanth Odela is also set to work with Nani again on a movie called “The Paradise,” marking their second collaboration after “Dasara.” On the other hand, Chiranjeevi is gearing up for the release of his fantasy action flick “Vishwambhara.”

All I can say is, if I ever lose my cycle again while waiting in line to see a Srikanth Odela-Chiranjeevi movie, it’ll be worth every moment! And as a joke, let me add that maybe I should start saving up for a new bicycle, just in case this collaboration sparks another wave of fanaticism among us! 😊

After the success of his first film, “Dasara” starring Nani, Director Srikanth Odela found himself soaring in popularity. Now, as he prepares to team up with Chiranjeevi, the filmmaker shares his feelings about collaborating with this legendary actor.

During an interview with Hyderabad Times, Srikanth Odela shared that he views the megastar as a character in his film rather than a real person, stating, “I’m a fan until Chiranjeevi steps out of his caravan. Once he does, he transforms into a character in my movie. I spent my childhood watching Chiranjeevi’s films, and it still feels surreal that I’m collaborating with him. The script was finalized in just 48 hours, leaving me on cloud nine.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I must share an exciting update: The director has emphasized that the upcoming movie starring Chiranjeevi will present an unprecedented departure from his conventional roles. This time around, you won’t find any traces of his vintage charm; instead, he’ll be portraying a character tailored for the modern era. Moreover, the film promises to showcase a revitalized and age-suitable image of this megastar, ensuring a fresh and captivating performance that will undoubtedly impress audiences.

Back in December 2024, it was revealed that director Srikanth Odela would be teaming up with the megastar Chiranjeevi for an upcoming project. This exciting news was shared on social media platforms by Nani, who is involved in the production of the film.

The original post by the Natural Star included the following caption: “I grew up admiring him, waited for hours every time I saw him, even lost my bike once. I celebrated him then, and now I AM HONORED TO PRESENT HIM. It’s a full circle.” This version emphasizes the anticipation and admiration that led to seeing this megastar.
