Chiranjeevi, Venkatesh, Nagarjuna in a multistarrer?

Famous Telugu film director K. Raghavendra Rao recently shared an interesting story about a dream project that never happened. In an interview, he said that he originally planned his 100th film to be a grand multistarrer with three big Telugu stars—Chiranjeevi, Venkatesh, and Nagarjuna.

Raghavendra Rao has directed many hit films in Telugu cinema. He worked with legendary actors like NTR and Sobhan Babu, and later made blockbuster films with stars like Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna, and Nagarjuna. He even introduced new talents like Mahesh Babu and Allu Arjun.

For his 100th movie, Raghavendra Rao wanted to do something very special. He almost completed the story and even decided on the title “Triveni Sangamam” (which means the meeting of three rivers). Producers Allu Aravind and Ashwini Dutt also agreed to support the film.

The three stars—Chiranjeevi, Venkatesh, and Nagarjuna—agreed to be part of the movie, which was a big deal. But just as everything seemed ready, Ashwini Dutt raised a concern. He said that handling three top heroes in one movie could be difficult. One of them might feel unhappy with the screen time, songs, or scenes. That could cause unnecessary problems.

After thinking about it, Raghavendra Rao agreed with him. He decided to cancel the plan for Triveni Sangamam. Later, he made Gangotri as his 100th movie, which introduced Allu Arjun to the film industry.

Fans still wonder what it would have been like if Triveni Sangamam had been made. It could have become a historic film in Tollywood. Even though the project was dropped, the story behind it continues to fascinate Telugu cinema lovers.
