Naveen Polishetty, Anushka Shetty team up for an untitled project
On his birthday (December 26), Naveen Polishetty was welcomed to the team of Anushka Shetty's upcoming Telugu project, tentatively titled Production No 14. Announcing the news, its makers shared a poster where Polishetty was seen striking a pose with a mic in his hand. The untitled project will be directed by Mahesh P, while Vamsi and Pramod will bankroll it under UV Creations banner.
Why does it matter?
Polishetty was last seen in Jathi Ratnalu, which turned out to be a blockbuster. Fans of the Baahubali actor are looking forward to seeing her in theaters again, after Bhaagamathie, which was a 2018 release. As for her last two films, Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy had her in a cameo role and Nishabdham was an OTT outing. So, all eyes are on this venture.
The actor is 'mighty excited to work with Shetty'
Announcing his casting in the film, UV Creations wrote, "Happy Birthday @NaveenPolishety. We are extremely happy to join hands with #NaveenPolishetty on #ProductionNo14 (sic)."
