Trivikram’s protégé gets Shourya’s nod

Missing in action for a while, actor Naga Shourya has finally gave his nod for a new project, which would be helmed by debutant K Venkat, who assisted Trivikram Srinivas earlier. The interesting aspect of this collaboration is that it would mark the suave actor’s maiden tryst with production.

A source close to the development confirms, “Shourya has listened to loads of scripts after ‘Jo Achyutananda’ but nothing caught his fancy as much as Venkat’s script did. He thought it would be better off if he funds it and when he had a word with his dad Shankar Prasad about it, he too endorsed the idea immediately.

The project would be a joint collaboration between them and would roll next month.” The source adds, “The film is a romantic entertainer packed with twists and turns and Shourya would be seen in a complete new look.”
