The Story in Brief
Chiranjeevi revealed the title of his 158th film as Kadiri at a promotional event for his nephew Varun Tej's film Korean Kanakaraju on August 11. The actor lived up to his 'Chiru leaks' meme by blurting out the name despite efforts by music composer Thaman S and director Bobby Kolli to stop him. The makers had planned an official announcement on August 22.
Directed by Bobby Kolli, Kadiri is the actor's next project after the Sankranthi release Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, which earned over Rs 300 crore at the box office. Hindustan Times reports that Chiranjeevi's delayed socio-fantasy film Vishwambhara, directed by Mallidi Vassishta, has seen no updates and may have been shelved.
The Indian Opinion
The 'Chiru leaks' meme is harmless fun, but it feeds a cycle where announcements become gimmicks. Fans eager for updates on Vishwambhara, delayed over VFX concerns, got a title reveal for a different film instead. That is a legitimate worry, not a joke. The real test will come when Kadiri's teaser drops on August 22 and shows whether the buzz is about the film or just the stunt.
