Amidst swirling rumors and widespread speculation, actress Malavika Mohanan has officially denied being part of the upcoming Chiranjeevi film, tentatively titled "Mega 158," directed by Bobby Kolli (also known as K. S. Ravindra). The denial comes after numerous reports surfaced online suggesting that she had been signed as one of the female leads in the project.

Mohanan took to social media to clarify her position, stating that while she would be thrilled to share screen space with the legendary Chiranjeevi at some point in her career, she is not involved in "Mega 158". She emphasized that the circulating reports were false. Her statement directly addresses the buzz that has been building around the film's casting, particularly concerning the female roles.

"Mega 158" marks the second collaboration between Chiranjeevi and director Bobby Kolli, following their successful venture "Waltair Veerayya". The new project is anticipated to feature two female leads, which has fueled intense speculation regarding the casting choices. While several names have been floated, Mohanan's denial adds a layer of clarity to the situation, eliminating her from the list of potential actresses.

Currently, Malavika Mohanan is occupied with other projects, including "The Raja Saab," which stars Prabhas and is slated for release on January 9, 2025. She was recently seen in Mohanlal’s ‘Hridayapoorvam’.

Chiranjeevi, who is 70 years old, continues to be a dominant force in the Telugu film industry, headlining major projects with undiminished energy and mass appeal. His collaboration with Bobby Kolli is highly anticipated, given their previous success. The search for the female leads in "Mega 158" is expected to continue, with industry insiders closely watching for further announcements.
