Megastar Chiranjeevi is one of the most loved senior stars in Telugu cinema. However, the films he has done in recent years have not matched the larger-than-life image he once enjoyed. Many fans recall how superstar Rajinikanth is now creating massive buzz for his upcoming film Coolie, thanks to the film’s director Lokesh Kanagaraj. This powerful combination has sparked unprecedented hype despite the promotional content being minimal so far.
Such excitement is possible when a senior superstar is shown in a strong redemption arc, crafted by a talented young filmmaker who understands the tastes of today’s audience. In Tamil cinema, both Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan have seen such resurgence under Lokesh Kanagaraj’s direction. The Telugu industry also has the potential to see Megastar Chiranjeevi in a similar light.
Unfortunately, Telugu cinema currently lacks an original filmmaker of that particular calibre who can create the same level of frenzy. While Sandeep Reddy Vanga is undoubtedly talented, his style caters to a different zone and is not designed for all audience groups. The Lokesh Kanagaraj style has the rare ability to appeal to both mass and family audiences, which is key for such a revival.
It would be a delight for fans to see Chiranjeevi in a high-energy redemption film that generates intense hype, much like Coolie. This is something the former matinee idol truly deserves and can undoubtedly deliver if paired with the right director.
