The makers of Chiranjeevi's upcoming film, tentatively titled 'Mega157', are taking strict action to prevent further video leaks from the movie's sets. Shine Screens and Gold Box Entertainments, the production houses behind the film, issued a statement warning individuals and platforms against sharing unauthorized content, citing a serious breach of trust and violation of intellectual property rights.
This warning comes after unauthorized videos and photos from the sets of 'Mega157' were recorded and circulated on social media. One particular incident involved a video of Chiranjeevi and Nayanthara filming a romantic song in traditional costumes in Kerala, which quickly went viral. The footage, apparently taken without permission, showed the actors on a houseboat, and was widely shared across social media platforms. Another leak showcased scenes and photos of what appeared to be Chiranjeevi and Nayanthara's wedding sequence.
The production team is deeply concerned about these leaks, as they disrupt the creative process and undermine the efforts of the entire team. They are requesting everyone to refrain from capturing or sharing any content from the sets without proper authorization. The makers have stated that strict legal action will be taken against anyone found sharing, uploading, or circulating leaked material, under copyright infringement and anti-piracy laws.
'Mega157' is being directed by Anil Ravipudi, known for delivering back-to-back blockbusters, and stars Chiranjeevi and Nayanthara in the lead roles. This film marks Chiranjeevi's return to comedy, a genre his fans have been eagerly anticipating. The film is expected to be a blend of humor, heart, and high-energy action, with a fresh and dynamic portrayal of Chiranjeevi. Chiranjeevi will be playing the role of Siva Shankara Vara Prasad.
The film's production is progressing rapidly, with shooting taking place in various locations, including Hyderabad, Mussoorie, and Kerala. A recent schedule in Alappuzha, Kerala, involved filming a song featuring Chiranjeevi and Nayanthara, with choreography by Bhanu master. The Mussoorie schedule, which lasted for approximately 10 days, wrapped up recently, with crucial scenes involving Chiranjeevi, Nayanthara, and VTV Ganesh being shot.
'Mega157' boasts a strong technical team, with music composed by Bheems Ceciroleo, cinematography by Sameer Reddy, and editing by Tammiraju. Writers S Krishna and G Adi Narayana have worked on the script, with S Krishna also serving as executive producer, and AS Prakash as the production designer.
The film is being produced by Sahu Garapati under the Shine Screens banner, in association with Sushmita Konidela's Gold Box Entertainment, and presented by Archana. The makers are aiming for a grand theatrical release during Sankranthi 2026. The production houses are urging fans and media platforms to support them by waiting for official updates from the makers, preserving the excitement and integrity of the project.
