After Ghazi, acclaimed director Sankalp Reddy is gearing up to create yet another fascinating story with actor Varun Tej in the lead. Touted to be a space adventure, the film will show the Tholi Prema actor as an astronaut. The film will be shot in Georgia and Hyderabad and the first schedule will commence in the last week of April.

"The principal shooting will begin with a month-long schedule in Georgia. We will be filming pivotal scenes involving Varun and others there,” says Sankalp. The director also stated that the title of his film will be finalised soon. “But, it’s definitely not Aham Brahmasmi. As we have some time to start the proceedings, we will decide it soon,” he clarifies.

Speculations have been  running high that the film is a biopic. Quashing these rumours, Sankalp explains, “It is neither a biopic nor an inspiration. It’s an adventurous saga with a dash of romance. But, there is no room for dance numbers as the script demands only background songs.”

Gnanasekhar has been roped in as the cinematographer for the film to be produced by Y Rajeev Reddy and Jagarlamudi Saibabu under First Frame Entertainment banner. The makers are currently on the lookout for the female lead and other cast and crew.
