With work on Baahubali set to end soon, producers Shobu Yarlagadda and Prasad Devineni are seemingly moving on. They are set to bankroll a new film with actor Sharwanand in the lead to be directed by Prakash Kovelamudi, son of legendary Telugu filmmaker, K. Raghavendra Rao. We hear a romantic entertainer is on the cards to be produced under the ARKA Media banner.
“Discussions have been on for a while, and things have become clear only recently. The pre-production is on, and the film will go on floors soon after that,” reveals a source in the know. Sharwanand is presently on a signing spree, and this is one of the series of projects he has okayed in recent times. He’s already shooting for his next with director Maruthi, while Radha, co-starring Lavanya Tripathi, is set for a summer release. Also, it is learnt that Sharwanand’s stakes have gone up with back-to-back hits, and he has increased his remuneration too. But it looks like the makers have no qualms about it as he is one of the most bankable actors today.
