Chiranjeevi’s Kaaka Enters Crucial Shooting Phase; New Schedule Begins September 7

Megastar Chiranjeevi’s upcoming film Kaaka is moving ahead rapidly, with the makers announcing an important update on the production. The film, directed by Bobby Kolli, is preparing to enter a lengthy shooting schedule in Hyderabad from September 7, 2026.

The announcement comes soon after the team generated strong interest with the film’s first glimpse, which was unveiled on Chiranjeevi’s birthday. The video presentation gave audiences an early look at the world of the upcoming project and added to the anticipation surrounding the actor-director collaboration.

Major Schedule Begins in Hyderabad

According to the latest update, the next phase of filming will commence in Hyderabad on September 7. The schedule is expected to be an important stage in the production, with Chiranjeevi and other members of the principal cast participating in the shoot.

The makers are working on a tight production plan as they prepare the film for its scheduled theatrical release. The latest development indicates that the project is progressing at a brisk pace, with the team focusing on completing major portions of the movie well ahead of its release date.

The Hyderabad schedule will feature important sequences involving Chiranjeevi. The production team has been planning lengthy schedules to keep the film on track for its Sankranthi release.

Bobby Kolli and Chiranjeevi Reunite

Kaaka marks another collaboration between Chiranjeevi and director Bobby Kolli after their earlier successful film Waltair Veerayya. Their reunion has naturally created considerable interest among Telugu cinema audiences.

Bobby is once again creating a commercial entertainer designed around Chiranjeevi’s screen presence. The first glimpse released on the actor’s birthday received a positive response, giving fans a first taste of what the director and star are preparing this time.

There is also curiosity surrounding Chiranjeevi’s character and the different phases shown in the promotional material. While further details about the story are being kept under wraps, the makers are gradually revealing information as production moves forward.

Strong Supporting Cast

Kaaka features a sizeable ensemble alongside Chiranjeevi. Anaswara Rajan and Nivetha Pethuraj are among the prominent actors associated with the project, while Sunil and Getup Srinu are also playing important roles.

Anaswara Rajan’s involvement has attracted particular attention following the glimpse and subsequent updates from the production. The film also includes Kannada actor Rachita Ram in an important role, adding another notable name to the cast.

With several experienced performers involved, the film is shaping up as a large-scale commercial production with a combination of action, drama and entertainment.

KVN Productions’ Tollywood Debut

Kaaka is being produced by KVN Productions, marking the banner’s entry into Telugu cinema. Producer K. Venkata Narayana is backing the project, with Lohith N.K. serving as creative producer.

The technical team includes composer S. Thaman, cinematographer Vijay Karthik Kannan, editor Antony Ruben, and production designer Avinash Kolla. The combination of an established technical crew and a major star-led production has added to expectations surrounding the movie.

Sankranthi 2027 Release Remains the Target

The makers have locked January 13, 2027 as the worldwide theatrical release date for Kaaka. The film is therefore positioned as one of the major Telugu releases for the 2027 Sankranthi season.

With the new Hyderabad schedule beginning in September, the production team now has several months to complete the remaining filming and post-production work. The makers' continued focus on the shooting schedule suggests that preparations are firmly underway to meet the announced release target.

For Chiranjeevi, Kaaka represents another major theatrical outing following his recent Sankranthi success with Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu. The combination of a festival release, Bobby Kolli’s direction and Chiranjeevi in the lead has made the project one of the films to watch in the upcoming Sankranthi season.

As the September 7 schedule gets underway, fans can expect more updates from the team as filming progresses and additional details about Kaaka are gradually revealed.
