Director Chaitanya’s last film was the Chiranjeevi Sarja-starrer Amma I Love You. So what’s his next move? “I am penning the story for an underworld subject, which will roll sometime in April 2019,” says the filmmaker, who has picked up the subject after Aa Dinagalu, a film with which he shot to the limelight. “This is the first time I am repeating the same genre in my 19-year career, during which I have explored almost all the genres — gangster, horror, comedy, thriller,” he adds.

Asked if it will be a sequel to Aa Dinagalu, he says that it is still in the initial stages. However, he hints that he has enough material for a two-parter. “I can easily see two films, but I’m yet to decide. This is just a thought at present. I don’t want to get too ambitious. Let me finish writing, and then I’ll take a call.” His story, he tells us, includes several true life incidents. “But the film will have fictional characters,” he adds.

The director has found a couple of producers, who are ready to back the project, but he is yet to zero in on anyone.
