Actor Nithiin, who was last seen in Thammudu, has now officially announced his next project. On the auspicious occasion of Ratha Saptami, the makers formally revealed that Nithiin’s upcoming film — tentatively titled Nithiin36 — will be directed by VI Anand. The project will be produced by Chitturi Srinivasaa under the Srinivasaa Silver Screen banner.

VI Anand, who has carved a niche for himself with films that blend high concepts with commercial elements, will venture into the science fiction genre for the upcoming film. VI Anand's latest release was Ooru Peru Bhairavakona, which released in 2024.

Backing the project is producer Chitturi Srinivasaa, under his Srinivasaa Silver Screen. The producer is said to be planning the film on a decent scale, ensuring the technical aspects match the demands of the sci-fi genre.

The film is expected to go on floors soon. The makers are yet to reveal details about the female lead, supporting cast, and technical crew. The announcement about these details is expected to be made in the coming days.

With Nithiin36, the actor is clearly aiming for a fresh start and a much-needed turnaround in his career. Whether this sci-fi venture will provide the breakthrough he is hoping for remains to be seen, but the combination of Nithiin and VI Anand has certainly sparked curiosity and anticipation.

Nithiin’s decision to team up with VI Anand has already generated positive buzz in the industry. Known for his versatility and strong screen presence, the actor is reportedly keen on reinventing himself with this high-concept subject. Sources suggest that the script has impressed Nithiin, prompting him to come on board despite being cautious after recent setbacks.
