Nikhil Kumar, son of former CM Kumarswamy was supposed to act in a bilingual, which was to be directed by Chetan Kumar of “Bahaddur” fame. However after Chetan walked out of the film due to dates clash with “Bharjari”, it was said that another director would take over same project. But the makers have decided to scrap the project.

Mahesh Rao, who directed “Santhu Straight Forward” will most likely helm Nikhil’s next film. The film will be an original script, which will be written by popular Telugu writers Gopi Mohan and Meher Ramesh. The film will be an action and family entertainer. Nikhil was upset as his first film did not do as expected. He wants his second film to impress all sections of audience and so he is taking time to select his second film.

The remaining cast and crew for the second film will be same. Ria Nalvade, who was selected as heroine for the scrapped film, will be the heroine of this project as well.
