Nanda Kishore, who is all set to direct Padde Huli hero Shreyas Manju in his next film, has brought on board Chandan Shetty as the film’s music director.

The popular rapper and composer, who has delivered hit albums, including Pogaru, will be teaming up with the director for the second time.

The confirmation comes from the production house, Gujjal Talkies. The makers, who completed the script pooja a few weeks ago, are now waiting to go on floors. 

Nanda’s mass entertainer will have Shekhar Chandru and KM Prakash handling the camerawork and editing, respectively. The film is produced by Gujjal Purushotham, and the team has finalised Reeshma Nanaiah as the heroine. The director is in the process of casting another female lead.

Meanwhile, Shreyas is currently awaiting the release of his second film, Vishnu Priya, directed by VK Prakash, which also stars Malayalam actor Priya Prakash Varrier.
