Director Mallidi Vassishta reacts to rumours of Chiranjeevi starrer ‘Vishwambhara’ releasing in two parts: 'Oh, is it?'

Megastar Chiranjeevi has multiple projects in his pipeline including the highly awaited socio-fantasy film, ‘Vishwambhara’, which has been delayed for a long time now because it relies on heavy VFX visuals. Recently, the film's director, Mallidi Vassishta reacted to the buzz about the project being set for a multiple-part release.Rumours have recently circulated on the internet that ‘Vishwambhara’ will be released in two parts. However, as per a report by 123Telugu, Director Mallidi Vassishta made a hysterical comment when informed about the idea of releasing the film in multiple parts. Responding to it, he responded, “Oh, is it?”. His comments hint that these are just rumours and no such plans exist.‘Vishwambhara’ is described as a Telugu-language fantasy actioner with Chiranjeevi in the central role. The film also features Trisha Krishnan as the female lead, playing the role of ‘Avani’. It also includes actress Ashika Ranganath in a pivotal role, alongside Kunal Kapoor.Initially, the movie was slated for release in theatres in January 2025, but later, the first glimpse confirmed the release shifted to Summer 2026. According to Pinkvilla reports, the second half of the film relies heavily on visual effects, and the makers are taking additional time to ensure the quality meets the project's scale.Talking about the plot, in a conversation with Gulte, Vassishta revealed that 'Vishwambhara' is set in Satya Lokam, the highest of the 14 realms (lokas) described in Hindu scriptures, where Lord Brahma resides. He explained, "There are 14 lokalu, seven above and seven below. Many filmmakers have explored different worlds before, like Yama Lokam or Svarga Lokam. We have already seen films where Yama Lokam and Svarga Lokam are explored. I wanted to do something different."The technical team behind the project includes Oscar-winning MM Keeravani as the music composer, Chota K Naidu handling cinematography, and Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao along with Santhosh Kamireddy, managing the editing.
