Directed by Meher Ramesh, Bholaa Shankar stars Chiranjeevi, Tamannaah, and Keerthy Suresh in the lead roles. Ramesh, notwithstanding his dismal record, is back to directing a film after a long gap of 10 years. Bholaa Shankar is the remake of the 2015 Tamil film Vedalam, which starred Ajith. Expectations for the film plunged after it was revealed that it is a remake of Vedalam. I mean, why would people be interested in a remake when the original version itself was poor. Chiranjeevi plays the title role. He works as a taxi driver in Kolkata. Similar to the auto driver...

Megastar Chiranjeevi slammed some media organisations which had misinterpreted his speech and falsely reported that the actor survived cancer, causing “unnecessary confusion” and worry amongst his fans.
