Varun Tej Prepares for Bhari: Volleyball Drama to Begin Shoot in November

Varun Tej is gearing up for his next big project, Bhari, with filming set to commence in November 2026. The actor, who recently recovered from an injury that required surgery and a period of rest, is now back in action and preparing intensively for his role. Bhari is a sports drama centered around volleyball and is set against a rural backdrop, promising a fresh theme for Telugu cinema.

The film is directed by Yadhu Vamsi, known for his work on Committee Kurrollu, and is produced by Pink Elephant Pictures, the banner headed by Niharika Konidela. Niharika’s recent successes have contributed to strong industry interest in the project. Notably, Netflix has already secured the digital rights to Bhari for a substantial sum, even before the cameras have started rolling. This early acquisition highlights the confidence streaming platforms have in the film’s prospects and in Niharika’s production track record.

Adding to the anticipation, Varun Tej’s father, Naga Babu, will play a significant role in the film, bringing a family collaboration to the screen. Music for Bhari will be composed by Anudeep Dev. The film is targeting a release in the second half of 2027, giving the team ample time to craft a compelling sports narrative. As Varun Tej resumes training and the production gears up, Bhari is shaping up to be a notable addition to the Telugu sports drama genre.
