After
AR
Murugadoss,
SS
Rajamouli,
VV
Vinayak,
now
maverick
filmmaker
Shankar's
name
is
doing
rounds
for
directing
Chiranjeevi's
150th
film.
If
reports
are
to
be
believed,
the
Aparichitudu
director
has
planned
a
period
film
for
the
Stalin
star,
who
has
not
acted
in
films
ever
since
he
entered
politics.
It
is
well-known
that
the
Mega
family
often
trusted
Tamil
directors
for
their
home
production
movies.
Chiranjeevi's
plans
of
returning
to
movies
have
been
on
the
back
burner
after
he
merged
his
political
party
with
Indian
National
Congress.
Adding
to
that,
he
did
not
come
across
a
good
script.
Now,
Shankar's
script
seems
to
have
impressed
him
and
it
may
kick-start
at
the
earliest.
The
megastar
is
playing
the
role
of
a
freedom
fighter
in
the
movie.
It
is
reported
that
Chiranjeevi
wants
to
act
in
a
film
before
the
next
general
elections.
Hence,
it
may
take
off
soon.
