Chiranjeevi replaces Nagarjuna on ‘Meelo Evaru Koteeswarudu’
Telugu version of ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire?’ will start shooting later this month with new superstar host
Actor Chiranjeevi will replace actor Nagarjuna as the host of television show Meelo Evaru Koteeswarudu — the Telugu version of Kaun Banega Crorepati.
“[He] will start shooting from later this month. They’ll shoot a few episodes this month and the remaining in October,” a source said.
Asked if the 61-year-old will host the next season too, he said: “It depends on various factors, like the response to the third season. It can’t be said with certainty at the moment that he will continue to host.”
Nagarjuna, who hosted the first two seasons of the show, is busy shooting for Telugu mythological drama Om Namo Venkatesaya.
Chiranjeevi is currently filming for his 150th film Khaidi No 150.
