Vishal, Sriwass to join forces for a Telugu-Tamil bilingual

Although Sriwass announced a project with Gopichand sometime back, it didn’t take off due to reasons best guarded. But we now hear that the director has got the consent of Tamil actor Vishal for his next.

The actor, who time and again said that he will be doing a Telugu film soon but never kept his word, was impressed by the line that Sriwass narrated and given the director’s credentials he decided it’s time that he does a Telugu film, sources said. What’s more, the film will be shot in Tamil too.

A source close to the development confirms, “Yes, Vishal and Sriwass would be coming together for a Tamil-Telugu bilingual. The latter is still developing the script, an action-comedy. The subject, though in a familiar territory for Sriwass is something new to Vishal, a factor which drove him to consider it seriously. It would roll once Vishal completes Mysskin’s next where he plays a detective. A premier production would be bankrolling the venture.”

Sriwass confirmed the development when Talkies contacted him but chose not to reveal details about the genre and the production house. “Yes, I’m teaming up with Vishal but I will be able to announce more details in a couple of days.”

Vishal, who is a Telugu, had done only one straight Telugu film till date, ‘Salute’. He enjoys a decent market in both the Telugu states.
