Aadhi Pinisetty has been signed up for the role of an athlete in a sports drama. The untitled flick will be directed by newcomer Prithvi Adithya. To be produced by Big Print Pictures, it will be made in Telugu and Tamil simultaneously.

"While writing this story, I imagined only Aadhi and I was relieved when he okayed the project. We are in the process of finalizing the other actors and technicians," the debutant director says.

What can we expect from the movie at a time when films like 'Jersey' have come out recently? "My film is going to be one that delves into the world of Athletics and the challenges that the protagonist faces in accomplishing his dreams," he assures.

Praveen Kumar will handle the camera, says producer IB Karthikeyan.

Most recently, Aadhi became a part of Keerthy Suresh's sports-romantic-comedy, which is directed by Nagesh Kukunoor. This one is a Telugu-Tamil-Hindi film that has Jagapathi Babu in a key role.
