Actor and Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan has announced a new film project, ending speculation that Ustaad Bhagat Singh might be his final screen appearance. The announcement came on New Year’s Eve, confirming a collaboration with director Surender Reddy.
New Project Details
Producer Ram Talluri announced the project on X, stating it is Production No.1 under #JaithraRamaMovies and will feature the collaboration of Surender Reddy and writer Vakkantham Vamsi. This marks the first time Kalyan and Reddy will work together.
Surender Reddy’s previous collaboration with Vakkantham Vamsi was on Agent (2023), which did not perform well at the box office. However, Reddy previously directed Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, starring Kalyan’s brother Chiranjeevi, to a respectable theatrical run.
