Tollywood heartthrob Vijay Deverakonda has signed on yet another interesting project. The Arjun Reddy  actor, who is already juggling between NOTA and Dear Comrade, will team up with acclaimed director Kranthi Madhav for a romantic entertainer.

To be bankrolled by KS Rama Rao, the film will show Vijay as a software engineer. “It’s a fast-paced modern, yet complex love story that will be shot predominantly in Hyderabad and Europe. Kranthi is currently giving final touches to the script and the principal shooting will commence in October,” informs a source from the film’s unit.

Meanwhile, reports were doing the rounds that Kajal Aggarwal was cast opposite Vijay as the female lead. However, the source has denied the news. “Kajal is not part of the project. We are in talks with a few actors but we are yet to finalise anyone," the source adds.
