Koratala Siva to direct Chiranjeevi

Director Koratala Siva’s next film will feature Megastar Chiranjeevi in the lead. After working with the likes of VV Vinayak and Surender Reddy, Chiru will team up with Koratala for an out-and-out commercial entertainer.

“Kortala was supposed to work with Ram Charan, but that film will take longer than expected to hit the floors owing to the actor’s other commitments with Boyapati Srinu and SS Rajamouli. Hence, Koratala has come up with a storyline for Chiru, who really liked it and wanted the director to develop it into a bound script. The film will have all the ingredients one would expect from a Chiru-starrer and also comes with an underlying message, which is Koratala’s mark,” informs a source.

The project will be bankrolled by Konidela Productions along with Niranjan Reddy of Matinee Entertainments, and will go on floors either in December or January, soon after Chiru wraps up his upcoming period drama Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy.
