More than a year after his 'Prati Roju Pandage' became a box-office hit, director Maruthi's next film has been announced. To be jointly produced by UV Creations and GA2 Pictures, the film has Gopichand in the lead role.

The First Look of this yet-to-be-shot movie will be released soon. "I am excited to team up with GA2 Pictures and Maruthi. This is my second film with UV Creations," Gopichand tweeted.

If it is the 29th film for the hero, it is the 10th one for the 'Babu Bangaram' and 'Sailaja Reddy Alludu' director. The announcement video has Rao Ramesh narrating the collaboration while playfully mocking the many speculative reports that were brought out by the media about Maruthi's probable project for several months.

Meanwhile, Gopichand awaits the release of 'Seetimaarr', a sports drama written and directed by Sampath Nandi. Tamannaah Bhatia is its heroine.
