Chiranjeevi, who is presently juggling a slew of projects, will star in his forthcoming untitled film Chiru154. Bobby will be helming the fim, with Ravi Teja reportedly playing a key part.
Pan-Indian Shruti Haasan will play the female protagonist alongside Chiranjeevi in the tentatively titled Chiru154. The film is billed as an action entertainment and is being produced on a large scale by Mythri Movie Makers. Devi Sri Prasad, who is currently gaining a lot of attention for his Pushpa album, has been tapped to compose the score.
Ravi Teja will play Chiranjeevi's younger brother in the film if all goes well. Ravi Teja and Chiranjeevi were last seen together in the film 'Annayya,' which also starred Soundarya, Venkat, Kota Srinivasa Rao, and Uttej.
For the unversed, Chiranjeevi broke the news of Shruti Haasan playing the leading lady in the film, on Women's Day. Chiranjeev took to his twitter to make the announcement. He wrote, “On this Women's Day, delighted to Welcome you on board Shruti Haasan You bring Woman Power to Mega 154 (sic) .”

The film represents Chiranjeevi's first collaboration with Shruti Haasan, and it is directed by KS Ravindra (Bobby).
Chiranjeevi, by the way, gets along well so far with Shruti's father, star Kamal Haasan. Chiranjeevi and Kamal collaborated in late director K Balachander's Telugu version of Tamil smash Avargal (1977), Idi Katha Kadu (1979).
Mega 154 or Chiru154 is provisionally named Waltair Veerayya and is bankrolled by Naveen Yerneni and Y Ravi Shankar. Chiranjeevi will apparently be shown as a mafia don disguised as an undercover officer.
