Writer Janardhana Maharshi, who wrote dialogues for SS Rajamouli’s ‘Eega’ (besides directing films like ‘Devasthanam’ and ‘Pavithra’), we are told, has provided the basic story for Venkatesh and Naga Chaitanya starrer untitled film to be directed by Bobby aka KS Ravindra.
“Both Venky and Chay were bowled over by the script of Maharshi but it needed some more attention, which is when Kona Venkat and Bobby came into the picture. The duo gave it an interesting spin. It is a family drama peppered with humour. It would be set in a town as opposed to some reports which indicated about it being a village-based drama. The plan is to shoot in a place like Karaikudi, Tamil Nadu,” said a source close to the project.
The source added that the makers are keen on taking the film to floors in July. “Venky would be through with a major part of ‘Fun and Frustration’ by then. His leading lady will be finalized in a week.”
In the film, Venky and Chay will be playing maternal uncle-nephew full length– just like they are in real life.
