While his contemporary heroes Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna, and Venkatesh have been scoring hits, Nagarjuna hasn’t scored. A hit for a long time barring Bangarraju in which he played an extended guest role.
After the dud like The Ghost, Nagarjuna is keen on his next movie and is introducing Prasanna Kumar as the director. Prasanna Kumar is the writer for the recent blockbuster Dhamaka featuring Ravi Teja.
The grapevine is that the movie will be a period drama set in the 1970s and 80s backdrop and Allari Naresh will be seen as the other hero. The buzz is that the movie will be launched in mid-February and regular shooting will begin soon.
