**Hyderabad, India** – Acclaimed Telugu director Tarun Bhaskar, known for his directorial debut *Pelli Choopulu*, is reportedly set to helm a new film starring Vijay Deverakonda. The project, tentatively titled “Binami,” will be produced by GA2 Pictures and is expected to begin shooting early next year. The film is described as a pure entertainer.
Bhaskar, whose previous film *Ee Nagaraniki Emaindi* received critical acclaim but underperformed at the box office, has also been pursuing other projects, including a remake of the Malayalam hit *Jay Jay Jayhay*. He’s also reportedly working on a script for a sequel to *Ee Nagaraniki Emaindi*.
Initially, whispers suggested that Vishwak Sen would star in the sequel. However, the collaboration with Vijay Deverakonda has now taken precedence, sparking online debate among fans. Speculation is rife as to why Bhaskar chose Deverakonda’s project over the sequel. Some suggest that producer pressure played a role, given the busy schedules of both actors. Confirmation on the project and the reasons behind the choice of lead actor is still awaited.
