Chiranjeevi had a rocketing career in the 1990s. However, with the passage of time, his work has not been resonating with the audience. His recent film, ‘Bhola Shankar’ tanked at the box office with many critics and fans expressing their dissatisfaction. However, according to a report, the superstar is planning to make a comeback in Kannada films.

According to a report by News18, Chiranjeevi is set to work in an untitled film with Prem which is set to start production from June 2024 onwards. The news portal quoted a source who said that the director had met Chiranjeevi in Hyderabad on December 22. It mentions that the director narrated the script and the story to him. The actor showed his interest and is yet to give a final confirmation. If Chiranjeevi agrees, then this film might mark his comeback to Kannada cinema after long.

On the other hand, Chiranjeevi is ready to dip his toes in a fantasy movie. The project has been given a tentative title – ‘Mega 156.’ The report mentions that this project might be a turning point for the actor, and it can help reinstate his legacy in theatres once again.

Speaking about ‘Bhola Shankar’, fans disliked the film for its archaic and obsolete storyline.

Ever since the report hit the news, Chiranjeevi’s fans have been looking forward to good news. Concerning Kannada movies, the actor was first seen in ‘Sipayi’ which grew to be a cult classic. Director Prem might start working on the project with Chiranjeevi after he wraps up ‘KD’ – a two-part epic saga starring Dhruva Sarja.
