Acclaimed director Puri Jagannadh and powerhouse actor Vijay Sethupathi are joining forces for a new film, tentatively titled “Beggar,” and the project is already generating major buzz in Tollywood. Adding further star power, the celebrated actress Tabu has come on board in a significant role, making this one of the most eagerly anticipated collaborations of the year.
The production team—led by Charmme Kaur and Puri Jagannadh—recently provided an exciting update on the film’s progress. According to their official social media posts, the process of location scouting is actively underway, with teams currently exploring cinematic backdrops in Hyderabad and Chennai. This preparatory phase is crucial, as Puri is known for bringing bold, gritty urban visuals to his films, and expectations are high for “Beggar” to deliver the same.
Shooting is slated to commence in June, and the makers have hinted at an ensemble cast that includes Duniya Vijay and several other notable faces, building anticipation for a rich, multi-layered story. Details about the film’s plot are still under wraps, but the combination of Puri’s dynamic direction and Vijay Sethupathi’s tremendous range is expected to offer something fresh for both Telugu and pan-Indian audiences.
Fans and industry trackers are especially excited to see Tabu back in a major Tollywood role, as her gravitas and screen presence promise to add depth and intrigue to the film’s narrative. With more information expected to drop soon—potentially a title announcement or first look—the Puri Jagannadh–Vijay Sethupathi collaboration is poised to become one of the landmark projects of 2025.
