Notorious smuggler Waltair Veerayya is recruited by RA&W to extradite a dangerous drug lord from Malaysia to India.

Production

In August 2021, it was announced that Chiranjeevi and K. S. Ravindra (also known as Bobby) would team up for a film tentatively titled Mega154 (intended to be Chiranjeevi's 154th film) under the production of Mythri Movie Makers. The film was formally launched in November 2021. In April 2022, Chiranjeevi unintentionally revealed the film is titled Waltair Veerayya. The title was officially confirmed in October 2022.

In March 2022, Ravi Teja joined the cast, reuniting with Chiranjeevi after 22 years since Annayya (2000). Teja reportedly plays his brother, a police officer disguised as a mafia don. Shruti Haasan was paired opposite Chiranjeevi, while Catherine Tresa is playing Teja's wife. Nawazuddin Siddiqui was approached to play the antagonist, but due to scheduling conflicts, he was replaced by Bobby Simha.

Principal photography commenced in December 2021 in Hyderabad. In April 2022, the second schedule commenced with Haasan joining the sets in Vishakapatnam. Starting in the second week of June, the crew began some filming in Malaysia. In July 2022, the third schedule commenced with Teja joining the sets. Chiranevi flew to France with the film crew on December 1, 2022 to film important scenes. Filming wrapped in mid-December 2022.
