Producer Venkat, who made six successful movies including 'Hangama and Samanyudu' on the banner of RR Movie Makers, has signed on Ravi Teja and Trisha for one of his forthcoming productions.

The film will be directed by debutante Gopi. Earlier, the film had Anushka as the female lead, but sources confirm her backing out from the project forever. So, the media which earlier hailed the Vikramarkudu combination is now singing paeans to Krishna combination. Any which way, the oomph factor doesn't miss. Ravi Teja is a star who can strike the romantic chord with anyone and everyone.

In fact, even Ravi Teja was not the original choice. The gossip mills were reverberating Gopichand's name.

So, when is the film finally going on floors? Likely in the first half of February 2010.

Ravi Teja is currently acting in the remake of Tamil super hit Nandodigal in a slice-of-the-life character. So for him, the new film will be a happy homecoming to larger-than-life roles. Trisha is upbeat about her Namo Venkatesha with Victory Venkatesh, which is set to release in January 2010.
