Actress Nivetha Pethuraj is making a strong return to Telugu cinema. The actress has signed a major new project and is now part of Megastar Chiranjeevi’s upcoming film, tentatively titled Mega158.

According to sources, Nivetha has joined the cast of the film, which recently commenced shooting. Directed by Bobby Kolli and produced by KVN Productions, the big-budget entertainer is currently being filmed in Hyderabad. Nivetha has reportedly already begun shooting for her portions, although details about her character are being kept under wraps.

The film features Anaswara Rajan in a key role as Chiranjeevi’s daughter and is being mounted on a grand scale.

Nivetha Pethuraj had stayed away from signing new projects for more than two years due to personal reasons. During that period, she was reportedly planning to marry her Dubai-based businessman boyfriend and had even announced their engagement on social media. However, the relationship was later called off, with both parties removing their pictures together from social media platforms.

Having recently resumed signing films, Nivetha appears to be charting a fresh phase in her career. Landing a role in Chiranjeevi’s much-awaited project marks a significant step in her comeback journey.
