After 'Idam Jagath' and 'NTR: Kathanayakudu' earlier this year, Sumanth is gearing up for a new project.  To be bankrolled by actor-producer DS Rao, it will be directed by debutant Santhosh Kumar.

"The producer has previously made hits with the likes of Nani, Nikhil Siddhartha, and Nithin. He has joined hands with P Jagan Mohan Rao for the new venture with Sumanth," a report says.

Simrat will romance Sumanth, who will be seen in a first-of-its-kind role and get-up in his career.  If music is by Yajamanya, the untitled flick will have cinematography by Ashkar.

To be shot from June, the film's subject revolves around the philosophy that men are neither good nor evil and only are victims of their circumstances.
