Venkatesh Daggubati, a celebrated versatile actor, is gearing up for an upcoming Telugu movie, which is yet to be titled. The movie is directed by Trivikram Srinivas and produced by Naga Vamsi. Earlier reports from OTT Play suggested that Trisha Krishnan would play the lead actress. If confirmed, this would be Daggubati and Trisha's fourth collaboration, following Bodyguard, Namo Venkatesa, and Aadavari Matalaku Arthale Verule. However, new reports now claim that Nidhhi Agerwal has also been cast in the Telugu movie.

Nidhhi Agerwal, according to a report by TV9, is considered the second female lead in the Telugu movie. With no official confirmation from the makers, this rumour has already generated significant buzz among fans. The actress is currently gearing up for the release of her upcoming historical drama Hari Hara Veera Mallu alongside Pawan Kalyan. If the rumours are true, the actress will have a large number of movies in her filmography.

Any confirmed project of Trivikram garu will be announced by me in this space.” In one movie Venkatesh is roped in as the lead, while the other is a mythological drama starring Jr NTR.
