Since the release of James in March, 2022, director Chethan Kumar has remained tight-lipped about his next. Though there were rumours about the filmmaker directing a project for Ishan, CE has learnt that Chethan is gearing up for something big next. The Bharaate filmmaker is all set to helm a project for Ganesh. This will be the first collaboration between Chethan and Ganesh.

While Ganesh is mostly known for starring in family entertainers that have oodles of romance and comedy, Chethan is known for his mass commercial entertainers, and this actor-filmmaker combination promises to be quite an interesting pairing.

The pre-production work is already underway, and an official announcement about the project is expected to be out soon. The film will go on floors once Ganesh’s Banadaariyalli, directed by Preetham Gubbi hits the theatres.

Apart from Baanadariyalli, which also stars Rukumini Vasant and Reeshma Nanaiah, Ganesh has confirmed a project with Tribble Riding director Mahesh Gowda, and Suni’s next, titled Rayagada.
