Playing the mystery card

Jakka Hariprasad, who made his debut as a director with the film Darsakudu, will now be directing a murder mystery. Titled Play Back, the film’s story is set around the ’90s to the present. Dinesh Tej of Husharu fame will play the lead while Ananya of Mallesham fame will be seen as the female lead.

“The makers recently found an old house, and the shoot will start in that house from August 5. This is a completely screenplay-based film, and one will surely feel the thrill,” says a unit source. Director Hariprasad has previously worked as writer with director Sukumar for the Mahesh-Babu-starrer 1: Nenokkadine and the Naga-Chaitanya-starrer 100% Love.
