AP Arjun to direct a love story

We had earlier reported that director AP Arjun will collaborate with Nikhil Kumaraswamy for a feature, which is now expected to go on floors in May or June next year. However, the KISS director will start working on another project before that. This new project will mark the director’s sixth film, and the second venture by his production house, AP Arjun Films.

Arjun, who is known for directing films like Ambaari, Addhuri, and Airavata, is said to have come up with a love story for this project. As far as the casting is concerned, the buzz is that the director is planning to rope in Viraat (who played the male lead in KISS) to play the lead role.

Viraat, who made the transition from television to the silver screen, came into the limelight with KISS, his first romantic drama, which also marked the debut of Sreeleela.

However, an official confirmation is awaited from the director and the producer. The shooting for the project is expected to begin in the fourth week of January.
