Director Jayanth C Paranjee is all set to direct a cross-border emotional thriller titled Narendra. Renowned model Izabelle Leite and Nilesh are making their Telugu debut with this film set against the backdrop of Pakistan. The director whose last outing Jayadev, starring Ghanta Ravi, didn’t go down well with the critics and the audience alike has pinned all his hopes on this film.

“It’s a love story between an Indian boy and a Pakistani girl. The team is currently scouting for locations, and the film will start rolling from January, with major portions to be shot predominantly in Gujarat and Hyderabad,” says a source.

The film’s music will be scored by Bollywood composer Ram Sampath of Raees fame. Raj K Nalli will be the cinematographer for this film produced by Eshaan Entertainments. The other cast and crew are yet to be finalised.
