Buoyed by good talk and weak collections of the film ‘Rajanna,’ hero Nagarjuna will be going for his new venture, this time a devotional film ‘Shirdi Sai Baba’ to be produced by A Mahesh Reddy. True that entry of second and third generation stars made the earlier generation stars to look for roles which suit their age and are different altogether. Nagarjuna’s Sai Baba was announced earlier but news is that it will start rolling from February of next year.
K Raghavendra Rao, who has the credit of directing Nagarjuna in ‘Annamaya’ and ‘Sri Ramadasu’ will now direct this movie as well. In fact Raghavendra Rao is the only contemporary director who could venture into spiritual subjects and succeed in a good measure despite a section of people having reservations about his blending of commercial element with the devout subjects. Pre-production work is going on with MM Keeravani composing the tunes which will have nine songs written by Veda Vyas while Paruchuri brothers are the dialogue writers. Given the successful combination of Nag and Raghavendra Rao, there will be blessings of God Sai Baba on both of them to secure one more blockbuster for sure.
