Telugu director Anudeep KV of Jaathi Ratnalu fame is busy finalizing his next film. Jaathi Ratnalu, a comedy-drama he directed, turned out to be a blockbuster and was one of the few films that managed to do well theatrically despite the COVID-19 pandemic. While Anudeep is yet to announce his next project, it is learned that he will be casting a senior actor in his upcoming film. Telugu star Venkatesh is apparently in talks with Anudeep for his next comedy film.
According to Tollywood.net, Anudeep is planning to direct a film with Venkatesh in the lead role. Both Anudeep and Venkatesh are discussing the script, and if the 60-year-old actor gives the green signal, the makers will make an official announcement about the project. Suresh Productions is expected to bankroll the film.
Earlier, it was reported that Anudeep might collaborate with Kollywood hero Siva Karthikeyan for a Tamil-Telugu bilingual film, but there is no confirmation on the project yet. Anudeep has many offers for the success of Jathi Ratnalu. The comedy featured young actors Naveen Polishetty, Priyadarshi and Rahul Ramakrishna in lead roles.
The film is the story of three happy men who move to a new city for a better life, but end up in jail for a crime they did not commit. Jaati Ratnalu released in theaters across the world on March 11 this year and became an instant hit. Made in a small budget of Rs 4 crore, the film earned Rs 65-70 crore at the box office. Jaati Ratnalu also did well in the United States and earned one million dollars within two weeks.
Meanwhile, Venkatesh is currently busy shooting for the Telugu comedy F3 directed by Anil Ravipudi. He will also be seen in the thriller Drishyam 2 – a remake of the 2021 Malayalam film Drishyam 2.
