A long US trip awaits Nithiin and Megha

Director Hanu Raghavapudi has zeroed in on places like Vegas, San Francisco and Chicago to shoot his love story with Nithiin

Delayed by a couple of months, the filming of Hanu Raghavapudi’s next, an entertaining love story with an adventure backdrop, with Nithiin will finally kick off in Hyderabad on December 16. A source close to the development confirms, “The first schedule will last only 10 days. Hanu and his team will later jet off to the US to prepare for the next schedule which will commence in February.”

He adds, “Hanu has returned to Hyderabad late last month after a 40-day stay in the US. He scanned locations in the US – that complement the script and offer viewers a chance to visually experience places that may not (always) be on their tourist map – along with his cameraman Yuvaraj and producer Anil Sunkara. The US outing in February will commence with a schedule in Vegas followed by schedules in San Francisco and Chicago. The unit will return to Hyderabad in April-end and another schedule is mooted in Hyderabad in May with which the shoot will come to an end. The total working days for the film are in between 90-100.”

When asked about the supporting actors in the film, the source said, “The antagonist plays a key role. Hanu is looking at fresh faces and is keen on bulk dates. His selection and other supporting roles selection will be finalised in a week or before.” Chennai girl Megha Akash is cast opposite Nithiin in the film.
