Venu pips Hanu

With directors like Venu Sreeram, Hanu Raghavapudi and Merlapaki Gandhi in race to direct him, we hear Nani will be first shooting with Venu once he is through with ‘Ninnu Kori’, his under shoot film with debutant Shiva Nirvana.

“Nani has committed to star in Venu’s next during ‘Nenu Local’ itself. The director would get first priority before the actor moves on to feature in Hanu’s next. Venu’s film, titled ‘MCA’ (‘Middle Class Abbayi’), is likely to roll in May or June.

It’s a romantic entertainer with emphasis on Nani’s characterisation,” sources said. ‘Premam’ girl Sai Pallavi, who is presently shooting for Sekhar Kammula’s ‘Fidaa’, is tipped to romance Nani in ‘MCA’.
