Tollywood should brace up for one more rocking villain. It's Kollywood's yesteryear star hero Arjun. He will lock horns with Nithiin in Hanu Raghavapudi's next.

The actor has said that the role excited him to do it. "I have listened to about 25 scripts across Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam industries in the last 2 months. None of them excited me so much. This role, I'm confident, will bring me the kind of name that 'Gentleman' and 'Oke Okkadu' brought," he says.

Hanu seems to have etched the antagonist's character in a superb way. The film is produced by 14 Reels, and is done with the first schedule. The makers considered several names for 3 months before zeroing in on Arjun. "We saw nobody else who would be apt for the role," Anil Sunkara says.
