It is now heard that Vijay Deverakonda will star in the lead role in the untitled project, the details of which will be made official soon. In a recent press meet, he expressed happiness at Pathu Thala's reception among the audience and OTT. The gangster drama is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
