'Jathi Ratnalu' director Anudeep KV struggled to firm up a project for the entirety of 2023. The failure of Sivakarthikeyan's 'Prince' decimated some of his plans. Before the release of 'Prince', he was planning to pitch a storyline to Victory Venkatesh. "The film is a blend of emotions and comedy. If he likes the story, it will be my immediate film after 'Prince'," Anudeep said in an interview in August 2022.
Two years on, the project has been a non-starter. So, Anudeep has moved on to some other hero.
As per the buzz in Tollywood media, Anudeep has pitched a story to Vishwak Sen. The 'Gangs Of Godavari' actor might take on the project after he completes 'Mechanic Rocky' and 'Laila'.
"As a filmmaker, I like all genres barring horror and violence. Life after 'Jathi Ratnalu' has obviously been different, considering it was a big hit. I have plans to make a sequel to 'Jathi Ratnalu' in 3-4 years. I have got some ideas," the filmmaker said in an interview two years ago.
