Chiranjeevi Turns Drill Master in Anil Ravipudi's Mass Entertainer

Megastar Chiranjeevi joins hands with director Anil Ravipudi for his 157th film, and the project is already generating strong anticipation. Backed by Sahu Garapati and Sushmita Konidela under the Shine Screens and GoldBox Entertainments banners, the film is slated for a grand Sankranthi 2026 release.The shoot is currently taking place in Mussoorie, with Nayanthara cast as the female lead and Catherine Tresa playing a significant role. In a fresh turn, Chiranjeevi will be seen as a school drill master who trains students in physical activities—a lively and engaging character crafted by Ravipudi, who is known for presenting stars in unique avatars.

After successful outings with Balakrishna and Venkatesh, Ravipudi is now aiming to revive the classic Chiru magic in a full-fledged mass entertainer. Music is composed by Bheems Ceciroleo, and with mounting expectations, fans are eager to see what this exciting combination delivers.
