Nandamuri Balakrishna and Boyapati Srinu are gearing up to work together for the third time in an untitled film after the stupendous success of Simha and Legend. According to a source, Balakrishna may have a dual role in the film, billed to be a political-action entertainer.

"One of the two roles will present him as the Chief Minister. The film will go on floors in the second week of February after having a formal pooja ceremony," says a source.

Interestingly, Balayya is also playing the Chief Minister's role in NTR's biopic, Mahanayakudu. Directed by Krish, the film co-starring Vidya Balan and Rana Daggubati, will be released either on February 21 or 22.

On the other hand, Boyapati's last outing, Vinaya Vidheya Rama, released during Sankranti, has received a mixed response.
