Chiranjeevi proceeds with Mega157 and puts Rs 200 crore-budget project Vishwambhara on hold over poor VFX?

As a devoted admirer, I couldn’t help but be drawn in by the intriguing glimpses of Megastar Chiranjeevi’s upcoming Telugu fantasy production, Vishwambhara. The film, under the direction of Mallidi Vassishta, has been generating a significant stir with its unique premise and mounting anticipation.

Despite no recent news or confirmed release date, movie enthusiasts are eagerly waiting to find out when exactly this film will grace the cinema screens.

Chiranjeevi’s Vishwambhara likely to rework on poor VFX?

According to a recent Filmfare update, it appears that Chiranjeevi’s highly anticipated Telugu fantasy movie, Vishwambhara, might be temporarily delayed due to his existing commitments in the film industry.

Word on the street is that, given the lackluster reception to the film’s visual effects shown in the trailer, the leading actor has requested the producers to put extra effort into improving those effects before revealing any additional sneak peeks.

According to the source, it’s stated that “Vishwambhara falls under the socio-fantasy genre, marking Chiranjeevi’s first film in this genre since 1990 (Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari). To avoid any potential backlash and not become a target for online criticism, Chiranjeevi has asked the movie makers to proceed with caution.

Chiranjeevi focuses on his film with Anil Ravipudi 

Since Vishwambhara’s film undergoes a reshuffle, the veteran actor is reportedly devoting all his attention to another significant upcoming project, which is being helmed by Anil Ravipudi.

According to past announcements, Chiranjeevi has reserved extensive dates for completing this project’s filming in a single stretch, primarily due to it being scheduled for a definitive release in January 2026.

Is Vishwambhara postponed further?

As a lifestyle and entertainment expert, I’m excited to share an update on the anticipated film Vishwambhara. Based on recent Filmfare reports, it appears that due to the extensive changes necessary, the team behind this movie is now aiming for a grand theatrical release no sooner than the summer of 2026.

However, an official update is required from the makers or the actor’s team as of yet.
