Vijay Deverakonda is riding high with a packed slate, currently juggling shoots for both "Ranabaali" and "Rowdy Janardhan." Even before he wraps up these ventures, the industry grapevine has it that he’s already prepping for his next—a film helmed by Shouryuv, who made waves with "Hi Nanna."

The big rumour lighting up Tollywood circles is the possible casting of Bollywood star Kriti Sanon as the female lead. Reportedly, Kriti has listened to the complete script and is said to be enthusiastic about coming on board. While nothing is officially signed yet, sources suggest talks are in advanced stages, and her rapport with Rashmika Mandanna (Vijay’s wife), especially after their recent collaboration in "Cocktail 2," seems to be a strong factor.

What’s adding more glitz to this untitled project is its grand pan-India ambition. The film will reportedly be shot in both Telugu and Hindi with plans for dubbing into other languages. Industry insiders also mention that several Hollywood technicians are likely to bring their expertise, raising expectations around the technical finesse. Wyra Entertainment is bankrolling this much-anticipated film.

Fans are now watching closely for official confirmation. If all goes as buzzed, this pairing could set a new benchmark for cross-industry collaborations—definitely one to keep an eye on!
