Young director Srikanth Odela, who shot to fame with Nani’s Dasara and is currently working with the actor again in The Paradise (slated for release on 26 March 2026), has now landed a golden opportunity—directing Megastar Chiranjeevi.

On the occasion of Chiranjeevi’s birthday, Odela penned a heartfelt note, expressing his admiration for his idol. Sharing an emotional throwback, he wrote: “Nuv na Demi-God! When I once showed a picture with Chiranjeevi to my mother, she said it was the first time he smiled in a photo. That is my definition of Chiranjeevi.”

The director further promised to give his all for the upcoming film: “Now, making a movie with Chiranjeevi is about creating something that will be remembered for a lifetime. I promise I will bring back the Chiranjeevi fans who have been missing on screen. This is not just a film for me, it’s for every Chiranjeevi fan. It’s a blood promise.”

With this announcement, Srikanth Odela has ignited excitement among fans, making his collaboration with Chiranjeevi one of the most anticipated projects in the coming years.
