Keeping aside the disappointing result of Sardar Gabbar Singh, actor Pawan Kalyan is prepping up for his upcoming project which will be directed by SJ Surya, a third time collaboration of the duo after Kushi and Puli. To be bankrolled by Sharrat Marar, the untitled project will start rolling from mid July. Shruti Haasan is in talks to share screen space with Pawan.

Reportedly, Pawan will be presented in a completely different avatar from what we have seen previously and it is learnt that he has put on extra weight to look the part in the film. It is said that Pawan will be seen as a faction leader and the film is tipped to be an official remake of Veeram. Anup Rubens will render the tunes and Akula Shiva is penning the dialogues.
