Mega157: Chiranjeevi, Nayanthara shoot romantic song for 1st time? Know latest update from Anil Ravipudi's action comedy
Chiranjeevi shoots first-ever romantic dance number with Nayanthara
According to a Telugu 360 report, the lead actors of the film, Chiranjeevi and Nayanthara, have come together to shoot a romantic dance number for the first time.
It is worth noting that the two were paired opposite each other in the previous film, Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, but no romantic song was filmed featuring them. It would be interesting to witness the duo pulling it off.
The romantic melody is reportedly being shot in Kerala, and Bhanu Master has choreographed it. However, official confirmation from the makers is still awaited on the matter.
When will Mega157's shoot be wrapped up?
That's not all. The report further states that the current shooting schedule will be completed by July 23. After this, the team will take a small break and reassemble in August for the next Hyderabad schedule of the movie.
Anil Ravipudi is reportedly aiming to complete the shoot in its entirety by October this year, as the film has secured a Sankranthi 2026 theatrical release.
Chiranjeevi and Nayanthara's work front next
Besides Mega157, Chiranjeevi also has Vishwambhara in the pipeline next, directed by Mallidi Vassishta. He also has a film with Srikanth Odela in the works, in addition to this.
Nayanthara, on the other hand, is set to essay a powerful role in Yash's upcoming project, Toxic. She also has Patriot starring Mohanlal and Mammootty in the schedule ahead.
Additionally, films like Dear Students, Rakkayie, and Mannangatti Since 1920 are also a part of her work front.

Rashmika Mandanna on staying grounded
Actress Rashmika Mandanna, one of India's most sought-after stars, has revealed how self-reflection and journaling play a crucial role in keeping her balanced amidst the whirlwind of fame, travel, and work commitments. Speaking about what keeps her grounded, Rashmika said, 'It's the people that surround me. My family, my friends, and my team provide me with utmost support, but they also help me stay grounded. And of course, my fans, who remind me why I do what I do and help me push through to give my best.' The actress admitted that there are moments when she tells herself to slow down. 'There are days when I remind myself constantly to pause and reflect on everything. That's where journaling really helps. No matter what's happening around me, I try to stay connected to what's happening within me.

Rishab Shetty, Kichcha Sudeep condemn overnight razing of Vishnuvardhan's memorial: An explainer on the controversy
Kannada star Vishnuvardhan, who also acted in a few Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Hindi movies, died at age 59 on 30 December 2009. The 'Sahasa Simha' died of a heart attack at the King's Court Hotel in Mysore. His last rites were performed with full state honours at Abhiman Studio in Bengaluru. On Saturday, fans woke up to the shocking news that a structure at his memorial had been razed on Thursday, with fans protesting at the studios on Friday. Vishnuvardhan was a popular actor in South Indian, particularly Kannada cinema. Vishnuvardhan's grave site razed TNIE reported that the land in Abhiman Studios once belonged to the late Kannada actor Balakrishna. However, the current owner reportedly razed the structure at the memorial overnight with permission from the court and under police protection. Film director Ravi Srivathsa, who recorded a video of the demolished structure, was quoted as saying, 'This is my god's (Vishnuvardhan) place, and it has been destroyed. The man who gave jobs and shelter to many has been treated this way.' Balakrishna's daughter Geeta Bali alleged, 'I learnt about it through the media and was shocked. My elder brother, Ganesh, was murdered last year. The person behind his murder is also involved in the demolition. Politicians are also involved.' The memorial at Abhiman Studios included an 8-foot statue of Vishnuvardhan, which is now the bone of contention between the new owners and fans. Despite long-standing demand to preserve the site, the demolition has frustrated fans who called out the government, police, and the Film Chamber. According to a OneIndia report, a new memorial spread across 2.75 acres in Mysuru has been in development since 2020, with plans to showcase Vishnuvardhan's personal belongings. Kichcha Sudeep, Rishab Shetty condemn the razing of memorial Kannada star Rishab Shetty on Saturday evening condemned the razing of Vishnuvardhan's memorial overnight. He wrote on X (formerly Twitter) in Kannada, 'What has happened in the case of Vishnuvardhan sir's memorial is condemnable. It has deeply hurt every fan who worships him wholeheartedly. In the case of a great actor of the state, such incidents are happening again and again, which is an insult to his personality and service to the arts. #VishnuSir #VishnuVardhan #Injustice #VishnuVardhanSmaraka.' Kichcha Sudeep also condemned the move and wrote in a long note on X, 'Sahasa Simha Vishnuvardhan represents an unending admiration and respect. The night before last, the destruction of his memorial feels as painful and distressing as if a temple of a god we have believed in and revered for years was shattered.' He also added that many, including him, had asked authorities if they needed money to maintain the structure when the case was in the High Court. 'We were ready for everything, I myself said so. Yet, the government didn't pay attention to this, or perhaps, without providing a proper explanation to the court, without burying it in the ground, they said the memorial at the cremation site isn't valid since there's already a memorial in Mysore,' he added. Sudeep also added that he will go to court, if need be, to appeal to the individual who owns the land to preserve at least a small portion of where Vishnuvardhan's memorial once stood. 'I am speaking as a fan of Vishnuvardhan, not as Kichcha. The pain is immense,' wrote Sudeep. The actor also posted a video reiterating the same in a video and questioning the move to demolish the memorial, and reiterating that he will stand up against it. Dhruva Sarja said Vishnuvardhan does not need a memorial to immortalise him, but condemned the manner in which it was razed, writing, 'There is no death for a true achiever, nor for art... Vishnu Appaji is immortal... Why does a person who has built a temple in the hearts of crores of Kannadigas need a memorial? Yet, in this land, such an insult to such an achiever is not right. It causes immense pain to the heart. There are many questions to ask upon hearing this, but as a Kannadiga and an artist, in this moment, I stand honestly with the fans of Vishnu Sir. I am waiting for your next move. Jai Kannadambe, Vishnu Dada is immortal…' Vishnuvardhan's wife, Bharathi, and their two daughters, Keerthi and Chandana, are reportedly yet to comment on the controversy.
