The director has assured that movie buffs will be able to catch the film on a popular OTT streaming platform from Monday onwards. Talking about his upcoming projects, he has confirmed that he will begin shoots as soon as the lockdown is lifted. Revealing further details, he said, “I have an open offer from Allu Arvind garu to helm under the

banner. It will either be a period drama or a thriller. I am also slated to direct an emotional thriller produced by

garu. The casting process for the film is yet to begin. We will be sharing the news with the fans when we reach a decision.”
