Chiranjeevi’s next big project, tentatively titled ‘Mega158’, has secured acclaimed Malayalam cinematographer Nimish Ravi as its DOP, strengthening the technical lineup of director Bobby Kolli’s ambitious action entertainer.
Nimish Ravi has earned a reputation for visual excellence through films like ‘Kurup’, ‘Rorschach’, and the recent blockbuster ‘Lokah: Chapter 1 – Chandra’, where his stylish lighting and framing were widely praised.
His entry signals that Mega158 aims for a pan-Indian scale, especially after Chiranjeevi’s renewed focus on large-scale films post-‘Waltair Veerayya’.
Bobby Kolli, known for delivering commercial hits with strong visual grammar, is building a high-end technical team to elevate the film’s production value.
With Chiranjeevi targeting nationwide appeal similar to today’s multi-language releases, the addition of a sought-after cinematographer like Ravi is being viewed as a strategic step.
