New venture

For the first time ‘Real Star’ Upendra and director Om Prakash Rao are teaming up for a mass entertainer titled Trivikrama.

Grapevine has it that Om Prakash Rao, who was earlier seen in a cameo in Upendra starrer Aishwarya, is all set to direct Upendra in a tailor-made script that suits the image of the ‘Real Star’.

Known for movies like ‘Lock Up Death’, ‘AK 47’, Kalasipalya, Bheema Theeradalli and others, Om Prakash, recently completed his 25th directorial project ‘AK 56’.

Visibly excited about the project, the director says, “It will definitely be a different movie and I had only Uppi in mind for the project. The movie is about a man who takes control of the City. It will have all the successful ingredients like love, action and comedy.”

The shooting will start in August and the movie will also see Telugu and Tamil actress Tapasee play the leading lady. M S Ramesh is writing the dialogues but other cast and crew are yet to be finalised.
