We have earlier reported about VT 13, Varun Tej's upcoming film wrapping its third schedule. The makers of the film announced on Monday that their film will be titled Operation Valentine. Operation Valentine is a Telugu-Hindi bilingual, the first of sorts for Varun Tej as well as the film's female lead Manushi Chillar. She is all set to make her Telugu debut with the film. Manushi is playing a radar officer in the film. She made her Hindi debut last year opposite Akshay Kumar in the period film Samrat Prithviraj, which was helmed by Chandraprakash Dwivedi. 


VT 13 is expected to hit theatres in December 8. The film, directed by debutant Shakti Pratap Singh Hada, is based on a story set against an Indian Air Force backdrop. Shakti Pratap has co-written this film with Aamir Khan and Siddharth Raj Kumar. VT 13 is produced on a large scale by Sony Pictures International Productions and Sandeep Mudda from Renaissance Pictures. Nandakumar Abbineni is the co-producer of the film.
