Nayanthara and Chiranjeevi have joined forces for their next venture, currently titled Mega157, directed by Anil Ravipudi. The shoot had started in Mussoorie previously. The actress has earlier shared the screen space with Chiranjeevi in significant projects like Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy (2019) and Godfather (2022). Mega157 marks their third collaboration. Now, a video from the sets of the upcoming comedy film has surfaced online. The footage, which shows Nayanthara and Chiranjeevi filming a wedding scene on a traditional boat in Alappuzha, Kerala, is now being widely shared across social media platforms. Director Anil Ravipudi, best known for his family entertainers, is currently working on this yet-to-be-titled film, which marks his first collaboration with Chiranjeevi. A YouTuber who witnessed the shoot from a distance uploaded a vlog capturing key moments of the outdoor shoot. The clip shows two beautifully decorated boats sailing side by side, adorned with yellow flowers. On one of the boats, Chiranjeevi and Nayanthara are seen dressed in traditional white outfits, seated and facing the camera, while the film crew occupies the other vessel. Take a look: The YouTuber speculated that the actors were filming a wedding scene. The video also shows the duo later stepping onto a houseboat, as curious onlookers, including the vlogger's family, gathered by the water's edge to catch a glimpse of the stars.
