Chiranjeevi becoming creative during story selections

Chiranjeevi becoming creative during story selections. Speculation is increasing over Chiranjeevi's upcoming projects. Chiranjeevi who has been doing films for many decades with Tollywood commercial directors, now is shifting his focus on new age directors from other industries. Rumours are floating that Karthik Subbaraj and Tharun Murthy met Chiranjeevi and narrated stories.

Though he didnot give green signal to any of them, one thing for sure is that there is change in the thought process of Chiranjeevi. After his reentry he did Waltair Veerayya with Bobby, Bohala Shankar with Meher Ramesh and is now doing Vishwambhara with Mallidi Vasisitha and Kaaka with Bobby. Most of them are commercial entertainers.

So Chiranjeevi seems to have picked up the pulse of his fans and movie lovers who are keen on having new narration rather than routine stories. So he is focusing on directors who scored hits with unique stories in other languages.

Mega fans are excited with Chiranjeevi and Karthik Subbaraj project discussions. Karthik Subbaraj created a niche for himself with films like Jigarthanda, Mahaan and Peta and they fee that his taking blended with Chiranjeevi's swag will wow all. Inside talk is Karthik Subbaraj narrated a different story to Chiranjeevi.

Chiranjeevi is also in discussions with Malayalam director Tharun Murthy. He did Thudarum and Chiranjeevi scored blockbusters with such stories. If Tharun Murthy's script worksout, it will be a classic combo. His project with Srikanth Odela is in a dilemma following the result of The Paradise. He is keen to take the next project forward during Summer 2027 and release the film during Sankranti 2028.
