The pre-production of Megastar Chiranjeevi's 151st movie is going at a fast pace. It's going to be launched on August 22, which is Chiru's birthday.

The producer Ram Charan has grand plans to spend as much as Rs. 100 Cr on the prestigious Telugu-Tamil project (also to be dubbed into Malayalam and Hindi). It's clear that the idea is to widen the horizons, thanks to the benchmark set by 'Baahubali' movies, 'Spyder' and 'Saaho'.

Regular shoot of 'Uyyalavada Narasimha Reddy' will start from September on wards. The heroine is yet to be finalized, while SS Thaman is almost in. Director Surender Reddy has always extracted the best out of Thaman, who may well give a new sound to the period drama, a genre he hasn't done earlier.
