Shiva Nirvana to direct Nani again

Fresh from the success of Majili, director Shiva Nirvana will be collaborating with actor Nani for his upcoming film. While fans have been wondering about the film's genre, it is learnt that the duo, who earlier worked on Ninnu Kori, will join hands for a romantic family-entertainer.

The film will also reunite Nani with his Krishnarjuna Yuddha-producers Sahu Garapati and Harish Peddi. The untitled film, which is in its last leg of pre-production, will go on floors early next year.

Meanwhile, Nani is awaiting the release of Gang Leader, an anthology of five short stories featuring women from different stages of life. He has also begun shooting for director Indraganti Mohan Krishna's multi-starrer V, which will have him essaying the role of an antagonist for the first time ever. This film also features Sudheer Babu as a cop, and Nivetha Thomas and Aditi Rao Hydari as the leading ladies.
