Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who is basking in the glory of Arjun Reddy has agreed to direct his second film for Mythri Movie Makers, who are known for churning out blockbusters like Srimanthudu and Janatha Garage.

According to a well-placed source, the film is likely to have Mahesh Babu in the lead. "Sandeep will make a film for the production company and the project will go on floors early next year. The genre and the subject are yet to be locked." The director has apparently initiated talks with Mahesh Babu's wife, Namrata, and she is keen to have Sandeep on board for a film with the superstar. "He is yet to meet Mahesh and if everything falls in place, the duo would catch up for a story discussion soon," informs the source.

It is also learnt that actor Pawan Kalyan too has expressed his interest to work with Sandeep for a film. “Sandeep admires Pawan a lot and he was thrilled to bits when the Gabbar Singh actor asked him to arrive with a story soon,” the source adds.
