Malayalam actor Joju George is gearing up to give a nightmare to mega hero Vaisshnav Tej. It is known that Vaisshnav Tej is starring in a film directed by newcomer Srikanth Reddy. The project is referred to as PVT04. The makers sometime back released the first look of Malayalam actor Joju George and it looked menacing he is playing the role of Chenga Reddy.
Joju George entering Tollywood surprised all his fans. Srikanth Reddy, speaking to scribes, shared how he convinced Joju George. He said “Joju plays a ruthless man called Chenga Reddy from Rayalaseema,”He added , “He’s a complete nightmare to be around, the kind who finds the best ways to make your life miserable. As the film unravels, he keeps getting worse. It’ll be a treat for movie buffs to see him face off Vaisshnav on screen.”
Srikanth revealed “It’s not like I’m the first Telugu filmmaker to approach him…he just wasn’t interested,” says Srikanth. “However, I went down to Kochi to meet him personally and he agreed to meet me. I had no one but him in mind while writing the character. Luckily, he was so impressed by the story that he agreed to allocate dates even though he was busy with a Tamil film.”
Joju got so excited that he wants to dub for his role. But Srikanth adds "While Joju wants to dub for himself in Telugu, it’ll require a pakka Telugu dialect for the character to work. So, we’ll wrap up shooting and see if he’ll dub for himself or not,” The film's shooting is in full swing in Hyderabad and next schedule is planned at Chilkur.
Srikanth shares We also wrapped up an exciting scene in Kokapet – it cost us Rs 1 crore to shoot for three nights. I was supposed to debut with Aham Brahmasmi (starring Manchu Manoj), but that didn’t work out. I’m glad this will be my debut project,” About Vaisshnav Tej's costumes, Srikanth revealed We flew in Vaisshnav’s costumes from Dubai. He looks like a boy-next-door in the first half, but the second half takes him to Rayalaseema. Sreeleela is also a major plus for the film – they both look so good together,”
