Following the runaway success of Sita Ramam, director Hanu Raghavapudi found himself in demand. The director has already signed a film for a Bollywood production house and he has signed another film, this time for Mythri Movie Makers, who earlier bankrolled blockbusters like Srimanthudu (2015), Rangasthalam (2018), and Pushpa: The Rise (2021). Billed to be a love story, the film is expected to be headlined by a prominent young hero from Tollywood, say reports.

"Hanu has received an advance from Mythri Movie Makers and has got two stories in place for now. He is waiting to meet a happening star for narration and is confident that either of them would work out. While the first one is deemed to be a romantic entertainer with a dash of action, the second line is an out-and-out love story. If everything works out as expected, the film may go on floors later this year," says a source close to the development.

Hanu's recent release Sita Ramam, featuring Dulquer Salmaan and Mrunal Thakur in the lead roles, has opened to unanimous response from the audience and the critics alike.
