More than a year after his debut movie 'Pelli Choopulu' was released, director Tharun Bhaskar in August started hunting for fresh acting talent who can do his next film. Male and female artists aged between 23-29 years were asked to send in their profiles.

With shortlisting and other pre-production works done, this film is now on the floors. Its shooting started on Monday morning in Hyderabad. Produced by Suresh Productions and Vinoothna Geetha, the movie belongs to the genre of romantic comedy.

In another development, Tharun recently bagged the role of Singeetham Srinivas Rao in 'Mahanati', the Savithri biopic. It will be a cameo. As for the Hindi remake of his first film, 'Pelli Choopulu', it will be set in Gujarat. Jackky Bhagnani will reprise Vijay Devarakonda's role in this remake.
