Now reports are coming that Nani is showing interest in teaming with Kollywood filmmaker Prem Kumar. He was supposed to do a project with Venky Atluri who scored a hit with Suriya's Viswanth and Sons. But now, inside talk is the project has been shelved.

Prem Kumar is a sensible director and he earlier came up with a classic 96 with Vijay Sethupathi and Trisha. However, when the same was remade in Telugu with Samantha and Sharwanand, it turned out to be a disaster giving shock to Dil Raju, Howwever his film wwith Karthi, Satyam Sundaram won the accolades but didnot turnout to be commercially successful venture.
