It is known news that Natural Star Nani and Vikram Kumar of 24, Manam and Hello fame, have collaborated for an upcoming untitled film, which will be bankrolled by Mythri Movie Makers and PC Sreeram is on the board to crank the camera. The regular shoot is expected to commence from the month of March. The upcoming untitled film is said to be made on the lavish budget of Rs 50 Cr. The sources say that as the producers loved the content, they agreed to invest Rs 50 Cr for Nani and Vikram Kumar’s film.
The makers have finalized the budget Rs 50 crores which is highest in the filmy career of Nani. But it seems that the upcoming project is very risky because Vikram Kumar’s previous offering Hello starring Akkineni Akhil and Kalyani Priyadarshan, was commercially flop at the box office. On the other-side, Nani has also delivered back to back flop movies like Krishnarjuna Yuddham and Devadas. We have to wait to see if the film ends up hit at the box office and make everyone happy.
This is the third time Vikram Kumar has collaborated with P C Sreeram, following the horror thriller 13 B and Ishq. The cinematographer has also completed Nithya Menen starrer Praana.
Earlier it was heard that Vikram Kumar has approached Priya Prakash Varrier for Nani starrer but now the sources say that makers are planning to rope Mahanati fame Keerthy Suresh to play the female lead. Nothing is yet finalized. If everything will go accordingly, once again Nani will be seen sharing the screen space with Keerthy Suresh.
On the otherside, Nani is busy in his upcoming sport based drama Jersey. U Turn fame Shraddha Srinath is playing the female lead in this film. The movie has also started the pre-release business. Directed by Gowtham Tinnanuri and produced by Suryadevara Naga Vamsi under his production banner Sithara Entertainments.
