Writer Prasanna gets Raj Tarun’s nod for his directorial debut

Joining the league of writer turned directors soon would be Prasanna Kumar Bezawada. The writer, who penned films like ‘Cinema Choopista Maava’ and the soon-to-release Nani-starrer ‘Nenu Local,’ has got the consent of his good friend Raj Tarun for his directorial debut, Talkies has learnt.

A source close to the development confirms, “Prasanna wanted to take his time to switch to direction but his well-wishers and friends from the industry felt it’s high time he goes behind the camera. He took their advice and met Raj Tarun with an idea. It was a 30-minute narration to Raj Tarun who immediately said he’d do it. It’s a classy love story.

Nonetheless, it would take time to roll as Prasanna wants to spend some good six months on the pre-production and rope in top technicians.” The source further adds the film is likely to be produced by some well-established names. “It’s too early to talk about who’d produce the film but one thing’s for sure is that it’s in safe hands.”
