Megastar Chiranjeevi is set to headline a celebrity talk show on Netflix, marking his first digital project. According to reports, the deal has been locked and an official announcement is expected soon.
123telugu.com reports the show will be a multi-episode podcast, produced by his daughter Sushmita Konidela. All sources say the show will give audiences a close look at his decades-long career. Siasat.com notes his film remuneration is estimated at Rs 70-75 crore, and industry circles speculate the Netflix fee will be higher. Telugu360.com confirms discussions are finalised and a big announcement is pending.
On the film front, Chiranjeevi is shooting for Kaka (directed by Bobby Kolli) for a Sankranthi 2027 release and has completed Vishwambhara, whose release plan is awaited.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All three outlets report the same facts: a talk show deal with Netflix is closed and an announcement is pending. 123telugu.com adds the production role of Chiranjeevi's daughter, information the others omit. Telugu360.com focuses on the pay like a business scoop, while siasat.com explicitly compares the show fee to his reported Rs 70-75 crore film fee. The speculation on remuneration numbers, sourced to unnamed industry circles, has no official confirmation. The balanced reading is that this is a branded content deal, not a film release, and its main significance is Chiranjeevi's move to a global platform. The numbers to watch are the official fee disclosure and the release date of his film Vishwambhara.
