Nani was last seen in the recently released Devadas, alongside Nagarjuna Akkineni. His next film, titled 'Jersey' was announced last month. The film was officially launched this morning (October 17), with a formal pooja.
Vikram Vedha fame Shraddha Srinath has been signed to play the female lead in this project, that is bankrolled by Sithara Entertainment. This cricket based sports drama has music scored by Anirudh Ravichander and this will be his second Telugu film after Agnyaathavasi.
The shooting of Jersey is scheduled to take off from tomorrow (Oct 18), and Shraddha took to her Twitter space to share this update. "I have a big grin on my face as I type this. My next in Telugu is #Jersey alongside @NameisNani , directed by @gowtam19 and produced by @SitharaEnts and the most incredible team working so hard to make this beautiful film about sports and relationships. We roll tomorrow :)", tweeted Shraddha.
