Excitement is reaching fever pitch in Tollywood circles as veteran actor Venkatesh Daggubati prepares to collaborate for the first time with acclaimed director Trivikram Srinivas. After weeks of mounting speculation, multiple industry sources have now confirmed that the official launch and commencement of shooting for this highly anticipated project are scheduled for August 2025.
While an initial announcement was being considered as early as June 6, both the actor’s and director’s teams maintained silence until pre-production plans were firmly on track. The film is being produced under Sithara Entertainments, known for backing high-profile entertainers. Trivikram, celebrated for blending emotion, humor, and engaging storytelling, will bring his trademark touch to Venkatesh’s versatile screen presence—a combination that has fans and trade experts predicting a major box office draw.
A significant point of industry buzz surrounds the film’s leading lady. Multiple reports indicate that Kannada star Rukmini Vasanth, who rose to Telugu fame with “Sapta Sagaralu Dhaati,” has been approached to play Venkatesh’s on-screen partner. Negotiations have been ongoing, with Rukmini’s final participation reportedly subject to scheduling permissions linked to her commitments on Prashanth Neel’s “Dragon.” The move, if finalized, is expected to mark a turning point in her career, as Trivikram is renowned for delivering strong, memorable roles for his female leads.
Casting details and supporting crew announcements will follow, but the overall anticipation is further heightened by Trivikram’s parallel plans for a mythological drama with Jr NTR—slated to start only after completing the Venkatesh project. As for Venkatesh, the project comes on the heels of his successful runs in “Sankranthiki Vasthunnam” and “Rana Naidu Season 2,” adding to the expectations for a fresh, entertaining family drama.
Fans can expect official launch festivities and pooja ceremonies in Hyderabad this August, with further announcements about the title, cast, and technical crew expected soon. This collaboration stands out as one of Telugu cinema’s most eagerly awaited films for 2025–2026, promising a heady mix of drama, humor, and top-tier performances.
