Harish Shankar to Direct Balakrishna’s Next?

The Tollywood grapevine is buzzing with speculations about who will helm Nandamuri Balakrishna’s next project after ‘Bobby’. The director’s chair seems to be a hot topic, with several names floating around. While some circles whisper Boyapati Srinu might return for ‘Akhanda 2’, others suggest Malineni Gopichand could be the one. But now, a new contender has emerged, and it’s none other than Harish Shankar, renowned for his mass entertainers.

Sources that Harish Shankar is gearing up to direct a film starring Balakrishna. However, before diving into this project, Harish Shankar is occupied with other commitments. He is currently working on ‘Ustad Bhagat Singh’ featuring Pawan Kalyan and ‘Mr. Bachchan’ with Ravi Teja.

Meanwhile, Balakrishna has taken a break from films to focus on his political campaigns. Once the election fervor settles down, Balakrishna is expected to resume shooting for ‘Bobby’. Post that, the stage might be set for Harish Shankar’s directorial venture with Balakrishna to kick off.

Interestingly, it’s been reported that Balakrishna has already heard a story pitch from Harish Shankar. The director is said to be tweaking the script based on Balakrishna’s feedback, further fueling the anticipation.

Given Harish Shankar’s track record of delivering blockbuster hits like ‘Mirapakai’, ‘Gabbar Singh’, ‘Subramanyam for Sale’, and ‘Gaddalakonda Ganesh’, fans are eagerly awaiting to see what magic this duo will create. As the details unfold, it’s a waiting game for the fans to get a glimpse of this promising collaboration.

Is Teja Sajja Not A Part of ‘Jai Hanuman’?

Young and talented hero Teja Sajja scored a pan-Indian hit in the form of ‘Hanu-Man’. The movie minted more than 300 crores and the makers announced ‘Jai Hanuman’ at the end of the first part. There is a lot of hype and speculation surrounding this project. It has been made clear that the second part will revolve around Hanuman more than ‘Hanu-Man’. So, many are doubting if Teja Sajja will be present in the movie or not.

In ‘Hanu-Man’, lord Hanuman is just a part of the movie. But it is going to be reversed in ‘Jai Hanuman’. Teja Sajja is expected to be a part of the film. There are rumors that he will just make a small appearance in the movie and nothing more than that. Even the young hero stated that the Hanu-Man’s story ends with Hanuman arriving and ‘Jai Hanuman’ begins from there. He added that he would just be present in the story and nothing more than that.

People are curious to know how Prasanth Varma narrates the story and from which point of view. He needs to bring in a big actor for the Hanuman role and not go for graphics completely. Having a star in such a huge role will make the movie go to new heights. There is a talk that either Rana or Ranveer Singh will act in the lead role. Let us wait and see.
