Veteran actors like Jagapathi Babu and Srikanth scored many massive hits in their careers and with young actors dominating Telugu cinema, they have been signing character driven roles. Jagapathi Babu made his comeback as antagonist with Legend starring Balakrishna and he turned out to be one of the busiest actors currently. Srikanth too has been essaying interesting roles and now the actor is said to have turned antagonist for Nandamuri Balakrishna. The actor is busy wrapping up Paisa Vasool after which he will start shooting for his next movie Jayasimha.

KS Ravikumar will direct the film and Srikanth is in talks to play the lead antagonist in the film. Balayya will play a faction leader in the movie which will be shot mostly in Tamil Nadu. The film will be launched on July 10th and the regular shoot will start from August. Nayanthara will play the female lead in Jayasimha which will be produced by C Kalyan. Hope Jayasimha will turn Srikanth’s career and keep him busy again. Jayasimha has been aimed for Sankranthi 2018 release.
