Actor Naga Shaurya, last seen in @Nartanasala, will join hands with director Santossh Jagarlapudi of Subrahmanyapuram fame for a new film. 

The untitled project, said to be a thriller, is set in the backdrop of Telangana and will go on the floors in the second half of this year. The film will showcase Shaurya as a Warangal-born youngster. “The film follows the universal story of a passionate youngster who wants to be successful in life. Shaurya’s character carries a unique attitude and exudes so much energy. His character firmly believes that the goal you choose and the path that you take to reach the goal are important. It’s going to be a new attempt and I’m quite excited to kickstart the proceedings. The script work is nearing completion and the film will start rolling soon,” says Santossh, who made a promising directorial debut with mystery thriller Subrahmanyapuram, starring Sumanth, last year.

Meanwhile, Shaurya is currently shooting for his other film, which has been tentatively titled Ashwatthama, in Hyderabad.
