It looks like leading Tamil star Suriya is all set to make his debut in Telugu and he met young and happening director Chandoo Mondeti again. “They met just a few days ago and discussed doing a film together. They also met in the past to discuss some ideas,” says a source and adds, “Chandoo made waves with his socio-fantasy ‘Karthikeya 2’ and now he is planning another pan-India movie,” he adds.
Already, Chandoo Modeti is going to start his big-ticket movie with Naga Chaitanya and also meet up with a Tamil star for another pan-India film. “I have scripts for Naga Chaitanya, Suriya and Ram Charan and we are holding discussions with them,” he had said at an event.
With Telugu cinema reaching new heights and producers willing to loosen their purse strings, Tamil stars are showing some interest to work in straight Telugu films. “Earlier, Telugu directors used to dish out routine masala entertainers and Tamil stars didn’t show much interest. Now, new-age directors like Chandoo are showing their expertise in dabbling themes that could appeal across India, so Suriya is keen on doing a Telugu film with a top producer, if everything falls in place,” he concludes.
