Hyderabad: After years of waiting, actor-politician K. Chiranjeevi has finally fixed the muhurat for his next film, to be directed by V.V. Vinayak for 1.30 pm on April 29.
A few months ago, he had announced that he would do the remake of the Tamil film ‘Katthi’, but hadn’t announced the launch date. The actor wanted to start the film after June, but since there are no auspicious days in the next few months, he fixed the date for April, sources said.
“Once the film is officially launched, there is no need to wait for an auspicious day to start the shoot,” said the source. Chiranjeevi took the decision after consulting a few pundits, the source said.
The film has been in the news from the last few years and finally it is going to take place. Meanwhile, a source close to the actor-politician clarified that this would be Chiranjeevi’s 150th film, and not 151st as some people were saying. “He did a cameo role in Ram Charan’s ‘Bruce Lee’. That film didn’t do well, so they are not counting it as Chiranjeevi’s film,” he said.
Ram Charan will be producing the film. Kajal Agarwal and Anushka are being considered for the female lead, since Nayanathara is busy with other projects, the source said.
