Looks like the hit jodi of Operation Alamelamma, Rishi and Shraddha Srinath, will come together on the big screen once again.

Interestingly, this project is to be made under Dhanush's production house Wunderbar films, who will be stepping into the Kannada industry for the first time. The film, which will be co-produced by director and producer Jacob Varghese, is to be directed by debutant Islahuddin.

2017 was quite a good year for Shraddha. The U-Turn actor, who was appreciated for her role in Operation Alamelamma, also established herself in Tamil with a series of releases including Katru Veliyidai, Ivan Thantiran, Vikram Vedha and Richie, and ventured into the Telugu industry as well.

“On Kannada front, she has completed her shoot for Godhra directed by Nandish and hasn’t signed a Kannada film since then. Shraddha was waiting for a good project to come her way, and this project starring Rishi has grabbed her attention,” says our source, who further adds, “She might begin the year with this yet-to-be-titled film, the preparations for which are currently going on.”

After an official announcement from the production end, the team will reveal more details about the rest of the cast and technicians. This will be the next project to go on floors for Rishi, who is currently shooting for Kavalu Daari. If all goes according to plan, work on the film will start in February.
