Venkatesh, who was last seen in the sports drama Guru, is back in action with a new film to be directed by Teja. Mounted on a lavish scale, the film tentatively titled Aata Naade Veta Naade will be jointly produced by Suresh Productions and AK Entertainments, and will see Venkatesh as a professor. The team launched the film with a low-key ceremony today.

“The script work is underway and the regular shooting will commence in February. The female lead and other cast members are yet to be confirmed,” says a source.

The film will have another young actor as the second lead and buzz is that Kajal Aggarwal is being considered as one of the female leads. Word is that the film’s storyline is loosely inspired by the popular American television drama series Breaking Bad. Abhinandan will be the cinematographer for the film, which will have music by Anup Rubens.
