Ashish Gandhi is reuniting with filmmaker Kalyanji Gogana for his next project, Kalingaraju. The makers of Kalingaraju unveiled their film’s first look on Wednesday.

The first-look poster shows Ashish Gandhi in a rustic and rugged appearance, seated against a presumably rural backdrop with a bloodied sickle in his hand. By the looks of it, Kalingaraju promises to be a violent action-thriller.

Kalingaraju is a joint production by production banners Rizwan Entertainment, Sri Spectrum Studios, and Sundarakanda Motion Pictures. Suresh Bobbili has been signed as the music director and Garudavega Anji as the cinematographer for the project. Veteran Chota K Prasad is the editor. More details about the cast of the film are yet to be announced, though.

Ashish and Kalyanji had earlier worked together for the 2018 film Natakam, which was also the directorial debut of Kalyanji. The filmmaker later made films like Sundari (2021) and Tees Maar Khan (2022).
