Comedian Venu made an impressive debut as director with Balagam. It has been two years since the film’s release and he has been working on Yellamma, a Telangana based love story. Telugu360 has exclusively learned that Sai Pallavi has been roped in to play the title role as Yellamma in the film. Sai Pallavi has been quite choosy with her films and she has rejected a series of films over the years. Thandel is the only film that the actress signed in the recent times. She has given her nod for Yellamma.

The heroine’s role is quite crucial and Balagam Venu wanted Sai Pallavi for the role. Impressed with the narration, the actress signed the project. Nithiin will play the lead role in the film and the shoot commences next year. Dil Raju’s Sri Venkateswara Creations are the producers and a major portion of the film will be shot in the villages of Telangana. Nithiin has completed the shoots of Thammudu and Robinhood and the films will release next year. Nithiin also gave his nod for Vikram Kumar’s film and he will shoot for Yellamma and Vikram’s films simultaneously.
