Even before an official announcement from makers, Megastar Chiranjeevi’s next film (151st) is making headlines and it’s expected to have plenty of surprises apparently. Firstly, the film is a biopic of Indian freedom fighter Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy which is to be directed by Surendar Reddy.
Known for giving Charan a big break with Dhruva and impressed with his previous work, Chiru teamed up with Surendar Reddy and got the eminent writers like Paruchuri Brothers to work on the script of Narasimha Reddy. While pre-production work is underway, reliable resources inform us that Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar would be doing a key role in the film.
Although it’s not pretty sure what kind of role Akshay was offered, it’s a treat for fans to watch both Megastar and Superstar together on screen. Akshay, who’s currently doing an antagonist role in Rajinikanth’s Robot 2.0, will definitely add more star-power to the historical film. There’s no official confirmation from both the ends.
Since it’s a story of a noted freedom fighter from Rayalaseema, filmmaker Surendar Reddy is very particular about action episodes, costumes, dialogues and locales – eventually, he’s taking much time to bring it on to sets.
