Hari Santhosh’s upcoming directorial, Bumper, has a new member on board — Sai Kumar. The Dhanveerah-starrer will have the senior actor playing father to the hero.

The dubbing artiste-turned-actor, who has been playing the variety of roles in south Indian films, will next be seen in Santhosh Anandramm’s directorial, Yuvarathnaa, starring Puneeth Rajkumar.

Meanwhile, the makers of Bumper recently released a teaser on the occasion of Dhanveerah’s birthday, and it attracted lakhs of views. 

Bumper marks producer Suprith’s second venture with Nisha Venkat Konanki after Bharaate. The commercial entertainer also features KGF villain Ramachandra Raju as the antagonist.

The team, which is in the process of finalising the heroine and the rest of the cast, is planning to start the project in November. The technical crew also includes Ajaneesh B Loknath as the music composer and Mufti cinematographer Naveen Kumar.
