On the occasion of veteran Tollywood actor Chiranjeevi’s birthday on August 22, the title of this upcoming movie was revealed by actor Mahesh Babu. It is directed by Meher Ramesh and will be Chiranjeevi’s 154th film.
Actor Tamannaah Bhatia has announced that she will be joining the cast of Chiranjeevi’s upcoming film Bhola Shankar, which is set to go on floors soon
Tamannaah, who has previously worked with Chiranjeevi in Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, announced the news on Twitter saying, “Honored and ecstatic to be a part of the MEGA MASSIVE MOVIE #BholaaShankar Can’t wait to share the screen with @KChiruTweets sir once again!” Bhola Shankar is reportedly a remake of the 2015 Tamil film Vedalam starring Ajith, which had Lakshmi Menon playing the role of Ajith’s sister and Shruti Haasan as the female lead.
Vedalam, directed by Siva, was set in Kolkata. A poster of Bhola Shankar at the time of the title announcement featured the Howrah Bridge, indicating that this film too will be set in Kolkata. Incidentally, director Siva’s latest film Annaatthe which was released last week is also partly set in Kolkata and stars Keerthy Suresh as Rajinikanth’s sister. Vedalam was also remade in Bengali as Sultan: The Saviour.
