Post their super success of the 2018-film RX100, the audience had hoped to see more of actor Kartikeya Gummakonda and filmmaker Ajay Bhupati together. Both are set to team up for the second time for another bilingual (Telugu and Tamil) action drama.

This time, the duo is teaming up for a project that’s on a bigger scale. “Director Ajay Bhupati is giving finishing touches to the story,” informs a source. It’ll be an action drama, a genre that’s Kartikeya’s happy hunting ground, adding that the plot will also suit the sensibilit­ies of the Tamil audience too. Also, one of the reasons Kartikeya wanted to make it in Tamil was because his debut Tamil film, Valami, starring superstar Ajith will hit the screens soon. Kartikeya believes that he’ll be a popular face post the film’s release. Incidental­ly, Kartikeya will be going for a makeover for his part. “He has already started prepping up for his part and has been working on his character and would soon get into the groove by the time he starts shooting,” adds the source.

Sudheer Babu never ceases to surprise his fans and audiences with his role or choice of scripts. Now, he has signed a new film to be directed by actor–writer Harshavard­han. And interestin­gly, the film will feature the actor in a triple role for the first time.

The film’s director Harshavard­han tells us that the racy screenplay and crisp writing will keep the audience glued to the edge of the seat. “When I initially narrated the script to Sudheer Babu garu, he was a little surprised that I was pitching this story to him,” explains Harsha with a smile. “He got so engrossed with the plot he was game to come on board with great vigour.” Harsha says that one of the novel aspects of the plot was Sudheer Babu’s triple role, something he’s enacting for the first time. “All the three roles are woven into the plot seamlessly. Moreover, these roles have multiple shades which is something Sudheer garu has never done so far,” Harsha adds. The director
