It has been reported that Sukumar will do a straight Hindi-language film with Bollywood hero Varun Dhawan.  Zee Studios will bankroll this under-the-wraps project.  

There are conflicting reports about this project.  If sections of national media are saying that it will happen only after Sukumar completes his next with Mahesh Babu, others have it that the project could go on the floors before the untitled Mahesh flick.  

As for Sukumar, he is tight-lipped as of now.  He is not only reveling in the success of the massive blockbuster 'Rangasthalam' but is also said to be working on his upcoming Telugu film with the 'Bharat Ane Nenu star'.  

Varun Dhawan is busy with 'Sui Dhaaga' and 'Kalank' and will also do 'Nawabzaade'.  As such, he could take time to work with Sukumar.  'Student of the Year', 'Badlapur', 'Dishoom', 'Judwaa 2' and 'October' are his successful films in Hindi.
