Producer Dil Raju is all set to launch his nephew Ashish Reddy in a new movie titled Rowdy Boys. Tipped to be a 'youthful entertainer with a whirlwind of emotions', the film is being directed by Hushaaru-fame Sri Harsha.

"Ashish has been inclined towards a career in Telugu cinema for a long time. He underwent gruelling acting, fight, and dance workshops under the supervision of star-maker Satyanand, choreographer Sekhar, and stunt master Venkat. The youngster is ready to plunge into the world of cinema in a lead role. The script has been finalised and the film will start rolling from mid-January onwards," says a source.

The film, to be produced under Sri Venkateswara Creations banner, will feature a host of newcomers in crucial roles.

Meanwhile, Dil Raju's other nephew Harshith Reddy also made his debut as a producer with the Raj Tarun-starring romcom Lover (2018).
