After they teamed up with director Meher Ramesh for 'Kanthri' two years ago, Ashwini Dutt of Vijayanthi Movies and Junior NTR are all set to work again for a film titled 'Khiladi'. 'Kanthri' was a commercial success and was liked by the mass audience. The film is all set to be launched in the month of January.

This time, it is Illeana who is pairing up with the Junior. NTR, Dutt and Meher are eager to better their Kanthri success. Seems that they have consciously elected another mischievous title for the same reason. It is to be seen if Khiladi becomes popular with the audience, as the title has been released much before even the shooting has begun.

Details of the story and NTR' character are not yet out. All the sources are saying is that Ashwini Dutt liked the movie immensely and gave a green signal for the project.

It will be produced by Three Angels, the sister production house of Vijayanthi Movies. 'Baanam' and now 'Om Shanthi' are in the kitty of Three Angels, managed by Dutt's daughter Seshu Priyanka Chalasani.
