Kishore Tirumala, known for directing simple family entertainers, last helmed Bhartha Mahasayulaki Wignyapthi, which had a moderate run at the box office. According to the latest report in the Telugu media, he is said to be planning a female-oriented film.
He is said to have initiated discussions with Sai Pallavi about the project, which will likely blend devotional and mythological elements. Sai Pallavi is known to choose roles that are strongly written, and it remains to be seen whether the actress will take up the project.
Lately, female-led films have been on the rise in Tollywood. Rashmika’s The Girlfriend earned good bucks, while Samantha’s Maa Inti Bangaaram emerged as a huge money-spinner. At this juncture, it will be interesting to see if Sai Pallavi agrees to be part of a female-oriented film.
