After making a striking debut with the surprise hit Court, director Ram Jagadeesh has become a name to watch in Telugu cinema. Now, buzz in the industry suggests he's gearing up for a new project — once again backed by actor-producer Nani — with none other than Dulquer Salmaan possibly playing the lead. If the rumors hold true, this collaboration between Ram, Nani, and Dulquer could mark one of the most exciting cinematic partnerships in recent times.
Court, produced by Nani, emerged as one of the most profitable films of the year despite its modest scale and unfamiliar cast. The film resonated with both critics and audiences, and its popularity surged even further after its release on Netflix, drawing widespread attention across India. Ram Jagadeesh’s gripping narrative, blending intense courtroom drama with a socially relevant message, earned him instant recognition as a serious directorial talent.
Interestingly, insiders reveal that Nani had already locked in a second film with Ram Jagadeesh while Court was still in production. What makes the new project even more intriguing is the rumored involvement of Dulquer Salmaan in the lead role. Sources suggest the film will be concept-driven, with early discussions between the team reportedly going smoothly. An official announcement is expected once the script is finalized.
With Nani producing once again and a popular star like Dulquer potentially headlining, expectations are already sky-high. If Court could succeed without traditional commercial elements, this new project — with a bigger canvas — has the potential to go even further.
Currently, the film is in pre-production, and more clarity is expected in the coming weeks. In the meantime, Nani is set to begin shooting for The Paradise next month. Director Srikanth Odela is handling scenes that don’t involve Nani until he joins the set. Meanwhile, Ram Jagadeesh is reportedly also keen on directing a film with Nani in the lead sometime soon.
