Fresh buzz is swirling in Tollywood circles as young actress Sara Arjun, who recently gained massive acclaim for her performance in the hit Hindi film Dhurandhar, is reportedly under strong consideration to play Megastar Chiranjeevi‘s daughter in his upcoming project with director Bobby Kolli (tentatively referred to as Mega158 or Chiru-Bobby film).

Industry insiders reveal that the film’s core storyline revolves around an emotional father-daughter relationship blended with high-octane action and drama. Earlier reports suggested that actress Krithi Shetty was in discussions for the pivotal daughter role, with some even claiming she had given her nod. However, following Sara Arjun’s breakout success and widespread praise for her role in Dhurandhar (where she shared screen space with stars like Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna), the makers are now leaning towards her.

Sources close to the project indicate that talks have progressed significantly, with some whispers suggesting Sara Arjun is “almost finalized” for the part. Her ongoing promotions for Gunasekhar’s Euphoria (where she plays Bhumika’s daughter) in the city reportedly facilitated these discussions. The team is said to be eyeing broader appeal, including potential Bollywood crossover elements, which could make Sara’s casting a strategic fit.

Directed by Bobby Kolli (of Waltair Veerayya fame with Chiranjeevi), the film is produced on a grand scale and features Priyamani locked in as the female lead opposite Megastar. Shooting is expected to commence soon after the official launch, with a theatrical release targeted for late 2026 or early 2027.

While no official confirmation has come from the makers yet, this potential casting has already sparked excitement among fans of both Chiranjeevi and the young talent Sara Arjun. If finalized, it would mark a major milestone in Sara’s career transition from child artist to prominent roles in big-ticket films.
