Director Krishna keen to have Anant Nag play lead in his project

Cinematographer-turned-director S Krishna is making use of this lockdown period to complete two scripts. Both the projects will be helmed by him, and will also be produced under his home banner — RRR Motion Pictures. Interestingly, he is keen to have Anant Nag play the lead in one of the stories, and is going to approach the legendary actor.

“The story demands his screen presence. However, we are yet to discuss the story with Anant Nag and finalise it,” says Krishna, who, like others, is waiting for the lockdown period to get over to take his projects forward. “The other story too has shaped well, and I will soon be pitching it to the actors who I think will fit the bill,” he says.

RRR Motion Pictures wants to open avenues for directors who can bring in unusual content with entertainment value, says S Krishna whose last film, Pailwaan, also marked the director’s first production venture. The sports drama starring Sudeep was made under the banner of RRR Motion Pictures, owned by Swapna Krishna.

Going forward, the makers are now looking to expand the production house with various filmmakers launching their films under the banner. “We have already okayed three scripts, and the directors are working on the stories, which are in the final stages,” says director Krishna.
