Kandireega and Rabhasa director Santosh Srinivas was supposed to work with star hero Pawan Kalyan. Long back, Pawan gave a formal nod to Santosh and the latter has already readied the script for the former. Unfortunately, Pawan Kalyan got busy with his political commitments and kept the director in waiting mode.

Now, it is learnt that Santosh Srinivas has approached Ravi Teja with the same story and got the approval. Reports suggest that the project has almost been finalized and will start rolling later this year. Catherine Theresa is in talks to play the film’s leading lady.

Ravi Teja is currently busy with Kalyan Krishna’s film and has lined up Sreenu Vaitla’s project up next. So Santosh Srinivas’ film will commence once he wraps up these commitments.
