While her first feature film ‘Oka Manasu’ might not have fared the way that she wanted it to be, Niharika Konidela has gone back to web series again.

The TV host-turned-actor will be sharing screen space with her dad Naga Babu in the web series which will flag off next month

While her first feature film ‘Oka Manasu’ might not have fared the way that she wanted it to be, Niharika Konidela has gone back to web series again. Yes, the actress, who received glowing reviews for featuring in ‘Muddapappu Avakai’, is set for another web series and with the same director Pranith Bramanandapally. It would roll in next month.

Confirming the development, Pranith says, “We will go on floors in the first week of September. It would be another romantic comedy but would be different narration-wise.” He adds, “It’s the story of an adorable father and daughter. The daughter cannot stand someone talking ill about her father and vice-versa. The drama that unfolds reflects on the conflicts that arise because of the possessiveness they have for one another.”

Pranith points out that Niharika’s real father Naga Babu will be playing her reel father in the series. “I’m excited to shoot with him. I know uncle very well. He is very friendly and I even took some tips as far as the script was concerned,” he informs, revealing that he hasn’t cast anyone alongside the actor in the film. “In another two days I will zero in on an actor opposite him. We are also auditioning a guy for Niharika. We are looking at familiar faces.”

It was the reception to ‘Muddapappu Avakai,’ he admits, that prompted him to pen another web series. “The response to it was amazing, ensuring that I come up with another one,” he smiles, pointing out that he is planning to shoot the next one in 15-20 days and later think of how to break it into episodes.

Pranith says Niharika will be playing a bubbly character and will look contemporary. “Her role takes a break from studies to discover life. In the process, she visits her father’s shop and starts interacting with other people. That’s all I can say at this juncture.”

With ‘Muddapappu Avakai’ getting record hits on YouTube, wasn’t he offered a feature film? “I did narrate stories to some producers and they said will get back to me. But there was no progress. In the meantime, I had this idea about another web series and things started to fall in place. It is kind of an experiment for me,” he concludes.
