Ranveer Eyes Big-Ticket Telugu Collaboration

Actor Ranveer Singh is said to be in talks with leading Telugu directors while looking for a full-blown ad script filled with songs, dance numbers, comedy, romance and high-octane action. She had earlier shown interest in working with director Prashanth Varma and even attended a two-day photo shoot. However, due to creative differences, the project could not be realized. He is reportedly currently in talks with director Boyapati Sreenu and a few other Telugu filmmakers.

Ranveer, who had great success with the spy action-adventure film Dhurandhar, is said to be keen on starring in a mass entertainer built around a fictional larger-than-life character designed to connect with audiences across markets. “He wants a complete package that blends emotion, action, music and spectacle,” says a source.

Meanwhile, Ranveer has also agreed in principle to collaborate with production company Mythri Movie Makers, which recently made a strong foray into Bollywood with the success of Jaat. “Ranveer is comfortable working with Mythri as they have not compromised on budget, scale or promotions. All that is needed now is the right director and script to bring the project to life this year,” adds the source.

After collaborating with stars like Sunny Deol and Shah Rukh Khan, Mythri Movie Makers is now reportedly keen to team up with Ranveer Singh to further strengthen their Bollywood footprint.
