Megastar Chiranjeevi's most awaited 150th project ‘Kathilantodu’ has been in news over the past couple of years. After such a long wait, the film is all set to start from June 20 at Ramoji Film City. Veteran art director Thota Tharani designed giant jail sets for this purpose.

Kathilantodu's shooting will kick off with the prison scenes and Chiru's escapade from the prison. In the Tamil original, these scenes were shot at a Kolkata prison, but the Telugu makers decided to erect sets.

In Kathilantodu, Chiru will be seen in dual roles, one of a street smart thief and the other as a soft-spoken village activist. Tamil movie was a huge blockbuster and it paved way for Mega fans hoping for a similar fate even for the Telugu remake.

Kathilantodu boasts of high profile technicians like Devi Sri Prasad for music and Rathnavelu for cinematography. Ram Charan himself will be producing the movie under his newly floated banner Konidela Productions.
