One of the sources close to the unit tells us that Nithiin recently heard the script, loved the story and agreed to come on board. The project has been locked and Venu is casting for the film as of now. Dil Raju will bankroll this film which is yet another another rooted story.

Tentatively titled Yellamma, the shooting of the film is expected to go on floors in January 2025. Nithiin is going through a bad phase in his career and is looking for a proper script. Dil Raju has made multiple films with Nithiin in the past and felt that apart from Nani, if anyone could do the film, it would be only Nithiin.

Dil Raju's daughter Ashrita Reddy will produce the film on her banner. Venu Yeldandi is a very popular comedian and was introduced through a Dil Raju film titled Munna, which had Prabhas as the main lead.

He is known for his comedy timing but when it comes to his debut film as a director, Venu made a heartwrenching film about feuds in a small family based in Telangana. We need to see what he has up his sleeve this time around.
