The much-anticipated teaser for Vishwambhara, starring Telugu megastar Chiranjeevi, dropped on October 12, 2024, coinciding with Dussehra celebrations. Directed by Mallidi Vassishta, known for Bimbisara, this socio-fantasy spectacle promises a grand narrative blending mythology and larger-than-life elements. The teaser showcases Chiranjeevi in a heroic avatar, wielding a mace and riding a winged horse against mythical villains, set to a powerful score by Oscar-winning composer MM Keeravaani. Fans praised Chiranjeevi’s commanding screen presence and the teaser’s Hollywood-esque visuals, with some calling it “goosebumps-inducing” on social media. However, the teaser faced criticism for its AI-generated visuals, with producer Satyanarayana Reddy revealing that no actual film footage was used due to pending VFX work. This led to backlash and the film’s withdrawal from its planned Sankranthi 2025 release to focus on quality enhancements. Now eyeing a potential August 22, 2025 release to mark Chiranjeevi’s 70th birthday, Vishwambhara features a stellar cast including Trisha Krishnan, Kunal Kapoor, and Ashika Ranganath, with cinematography by Chota K Naidu. As anticipation builds, fans eagerly await further updates on this high-budget Tollywood venture.
