Raju to produce Venu Sreeram’s next

Even though his earlier film with Ravi Teja was shelved (due to the actor’s remuneration issues), director Venu Sreeram has moved on. We hear he is working on a fresh script, the idea of which found an admirer in the form of his godfather Dil Raju.

Also, we have learnt that the protagonist could be Nani, if all goes well. Venu is penning the script that suits Nani or other heroes in the same age group. Once the script is done, Nani would be the first choice to be narrated it.

“Yes, Nani is on Venu’s mind but the project moving ahead depends on whether he likes the script and can accommodate it in the second half of next year. Nonetheless, with Dil Raju on board, it’s an offer that the actor can’t refuse,” says a source close to the development.

Nani is presently shooting for Dil Raju’s ‘Nenu Local’. Although the film was being planned for a release in December, sources have told us that the producer has decided to push it to early next year.
