A few months ago, there was news that Venu, known for the movie ‘Balagam,’ had pitched a script titled “Yellamma” to Natural Star Nani, and that the film would begin production.
During the promotions of “Hi Nanna,” Nani clarified that he had not heard any such story from Venu, but speculation continued that he was involved in the project. Now, reports are widespread that Nani is not part of the movie.
According to insiders, Nani never seriously considered working with Venu, despite admiring his previous film. Following the success of “Dasara” and “Hi Nanna,” Nani aims to create films that resonate with family audiences but on a larger scale, unlike Venu’s culturally-themed conceptual stories.
Although there were rumors about Venu teaming up with Nani, the director is also pitching stories to other actors, with Dil Raju set to produce the movie.
Currently, Nani is busy with the film “Saripodha Sanivaram” directed by Vivek Athreya, and he also has another project lined up with “Dasara” director Srikanth Odela. There were plans for a film with Sujith as well, but it depends on finalizing a producer, as DVV Danayya has withdrawn from the project.
