The success meet of Korean Kanakaraju turned into an unexpected treat for Mega fans, with Megastar Chiranjeevi attending the event as the chief guest. During his interaction with S. Thaman, who composed the music for Korean Kanakaraju and is also the composer of Chiranjeevi’s upcoming Mega158, the conversation shifted to the latter project. Chiranjeevi revealed that a special teaser of Mega158 is planned for August 22, his birthday, immediately raising excitement around the project.
Chiranjeevi Accidentally Reveals Kadhiri Title
But Chiranjeevi seemingly went a step further and let the title slip, referring to the film as Kadhiri during his interaction with Thaman. The title has not yet been formally announced by the makers, so it should be treated as a leak rather than an official confirmation for now. Fans quickly caught the moment, and social media erupted with discussions about whether Kadhiri is indeed the locked title or just a working name.
Mega158 marks Chiranjeevi’s second collaboration with director Bobby Kolli after the blockbuster Waltair Veerayya. Thaman is composing the music, and KVN Productions is backing the project. The film has been in production for several months, and anticipation has been building among Mega fans for an official announcement.
History Repeats: Chiranjeevi’s Pattern of Title Leaks
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Chiranjeevi has accidentally beaten his own makers to a title announcement. Back in 2020, he inadvertently revealed that his film with director Koratala Siva was titled Acharya at an event, before the official title reveal. Now, six years later, history appears to be repeating itself with Mega158—though fans may have to wait until August 22 to find out whether Kadhiri is indeed the final title.
With Chiranjeevi turning 71 on August 22, the planned birthday teaser will be a double celebration for Mega fans. Whether the makers officially confirm Kadhiri as the title or surprise everyone with a different name remains to be seen. Until then, the leaked title has already generated massive buzz across social media and fan circles.
