"Radha Krishna gave a three-hour narration to Jagapathi Babu, who got excited with the story. However, he is yet to sign the dotted line and has asked for a week's time to adjust his call sheets to accommodate the film," reveals a source. If everything goes as planned, Jagapathi Babu will start shooting for Jaan in its next schedule in November.

The Legend-actor has recently wrapped up shooting for the Chiranjeevi-starrer Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, and will soon make his Hindi debut with Ajay Devgn's period drama, Tanaji: The Unsung Warrior.
