Chiranjeevi, Karthik Subbaraj may team up for first film
Filmmaker Karthik Subbaraj has said he narrated a script to actor Chiranjeevi, raising the possibility of their first collaboration. Speaking on the podcast Permit Room, Subbaraj said, ‘I have narrated a script to Chiranjeevi sir, but nothing has been finalized as of now. Hopeful, I will work with him.’ Pinkvilla and the Times of India both report that no official announcement has been made, and details about the genre, schedule and cast are not known.
Chiranjeevi is currently working on the action thriller ‘Kaaka’, directed by Bobby Kolli, set for a theatrical release on 13 January 2027. Subbaraj’s latest film ‘Dorothy’, which examines friendship and patriarchal traditions, was released earlier and received a four-star rating from ETimes, according to the Times of India.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both Pinkvilla and the Times of India cover the collaboration rumour identically, each leading with Subbaraj’s own statement from the podcast and noting the lack of official confirmation. Neither outlet emphasises any wider industry significance, and neither treats the news as speculative beyond what the director himself said. The coverage is uniform, straight reporting of a tentative development. The concrete watch item is the same in both: no next step is named, so the story leaves open whether the script narration leads to a formal deal.
