Vijay Deverakonda okays Hi Nanna director Shouryuv's next, here's what we know

Hi Nanna was a smash hit at the box office and introduced Telugu cinema to a promising new director in the form of Shouryuv. The emotional drama impressed audiences with its heartfelt storytelling and strong performances. However, despite the success of his debut film, the young director has yet to lock his second project.

What are Vijay Deverakonda's upcoming films?

After the success of Hi Nanna, Shouryuv reportedly penned a script for Jr NTR and spent nearly a year and a half developing it. Unfortunately, the project did not materialize, which was a major disappointment for the filmmaker. 

Following this setback, Shouryuv approached a few other Telugu actors with his script. He even met Tamil star Karthi to narrate the story, but the project did not move forward.

Now, according to sources close to the development, Shouryuv has met Vijay Deverakonda and narrated a fresh script. A source reveals that Vijay was quite impressed with the narration and has given his initial approval for the project. The director reportedly came prepared with a bound script, and the film is said to be a romantic drama set against a dark backdrop.

The story apparently offers the hero plenty of scope to perform and showcase his acting abilities. Vijay Deverakonda is said to have liked the concept and narrative style, which convinced him to give the project a green signal.
