OS Avinash is directing Tanish in a film titled Telugabbai (previously titled as 'Salamath'). This is not a story that takes place in your typical Telugu neighbourhood though. The entire film was shot in Malaysia. This movie will be released on Sep 21.

"This one is a youthful romantic love story. All those elements which the youth and family audience want are there in Telugabbai. Tanish's look, Tashu Kaushik's glamour, and the action episodes will be major highlights," the director says.

Tanish says that the film, coming as it does after Mem Vayasuku Vaccham, will position him as a good actor. It is also the costliest film he has ever acted in.

Mojo Joseph's music, says producer Ramakrishna, is very good. Ramya Nambeesan, Nagababu, Lohith, Sona Naayar and Ananya are part of the cast.
