Megastar Chiranjeevi's 158th film, directed by Bobby Kolli, will feature a special song shot from next week, 123telugu.com reports. The source says Chiranjeevi will appear in a stylish new look for the number, which is expected to raise fan expectations. The film is currently shooting a massive action schedule in Hyderabad under Ram-Lakshman Masters. KVN Productions is producing the big-budget movie, with Thaman composing music. The pair's previous collaboration, Waltair Veerayya, was a success. 123telugu.com also reports that director Trivikram is working on script improvements for his upcoming film with NTR, tentatively called 'God of War.' The shoot was postponed due to NTR's shoulder injury. Trivikram is focusing on VFX to create a large-scale mythological world for the pan-India project, produced by Haarika & Hassine Creations and Fortune Four Cinemas. Meanwhile, following Akhil Akkineni's hit film 'Lenin,' fans are debating his next project on social media, 123telugu.com reports. Some fans want a stylish action thriller, others an intense crime drama, to capitalise on his current success. Separately, tupaki.com reports that Ranveer Singh's next film 'Pralay' is a risk, as debut director Jai Mehta handles a post-apocalyptic action concept with heavy VFX after the star's success in 'Dhurandhar.'
