Chiranjeevi's Kaaka Title and Glimpse Unveiled on 71st Birthday

Telugu superstar Chiranjeevi's upcoming film, previously known by the working title Mega158, has been officially named Kaaka. The title and a first-look glimpse were unveiled on August 22, 2026, coinciding with the actor's 71st birthday. The action entertainer, directed by Bobby Kolli and produced by KVN Productions, is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on January 13, 2027, during the Sankranti festival season.

The announcement was made through a teaser video that introduced Chiranjeevi's character, Supervisor Satyam, who works at Ammaji Aqua Industries in Ravulapalem. The glimpse presents a stark contrast, beginning with scenes of Satyam's seemingly ordinary life at a shrimp farm, surrounded by the daily bustle of the aquaculture business. The tone then shifts dramatically to action, with gunfire and violence, hinting at a dangerous past or hidden identity. A notable sequence involves Satyam using a large electromagnet to retrieve a dropped key from a pool of shrimp, which also pulls up a cache of weapons. The keychain bears the inscription "I love dad," adding a layer of mystery and suggesting a strong father-daughter emotional bond at the film's core.
