Actor Sumanth says he will be seen playing the lead character with grey shades in his next yet-untitled Telugu film.

“Done with ‘Malli Raava’ and moving onto the next which will be a thriller, where I’ll be playing the lead with grey shades. It’s just what I wanted,” Sumanth tweeted on Wednesday.

The other details regarding the project are yet unknown.

Sumanth’s last release was Telugu drama “Naruda Donoruda”, a remake of “Vicky Donor”, which bombed at the box office.

He has pinned high hopes on “Malli Raava”, a romantic drama by debutant director Gowtham Tinnanuri.

It’s a love story that takes place in three time zones, spanning 20 years.

The film marks the Telugu debut of Akanksha Singh.
