Megastar Chiranjeevi's stardom is known for generations. He scored a thumping hit with Khaidi No 150 during his re-entry into film after a decade. It is a comming perception since many decades that a Chiranjeevi film will get minimum returns at the boxoffice even it become a flop. This perception was changed with Acharya debacle, even Chiru didn't expected such a flop.
When the trade, fans, and audience are forgetting about Acharya as a bad dream and enjoying the success of Waltair Veerayya, a much bigger shock hit the Megastar and his fans with Bholaa Shankar. With this failure, Chiranjeevi became alerted and quickly set the future projects in motion. He is taking extra care along with actual feedback to make a solid comeback with Mega 157 which is a socio fantasy.

A crazy update is circulating the film circles that Anushka Shetty will be seen as female lead opposite Chiranjeevi for the first time in the film. Anushka shook a leg with Megastar for a special song in Stalin but never did a full length role with Megastar. Though a couple of times, directors tried for this combination, it didn't happened. Anushka did the guest role of Rani Rudrama Devi in Chiranjeevi's Sye Raa.
