“Vijay really didn’t have dates for this film. However, he made time after he heard the script and was really impressed with his character. He immediately gave his nod,” the source said.

 

To be directed by Buchi Babu Sana, the film will be a love story set against a rural backdrop. “We want to transport the viewers to a new place and wanted to bring the best technicians on board to ensure a visual feast for the audience. The film will also mark the Tollywood debut of Manisha Raj, who will be essaying the female lead,” director Buchi Babu was quoted saying in an interview to Times of India.

Shyam Dutt of Vishwaroopam 2 fame will be cranking the camera while the duo of Ramakrishna and Mounica, who worked in last year’s blockbuster Rangasthalam, will be handling the production design. Devi Sri Prasad has been roped in as the composer.

2019 will mark the debut of several star scions and Vaishnav Tej is going to be one among them. Among others, Vikram’s son Dhruv Vikram will be seen making his debut in Tamil remake of Arjun Reddy later this year.
