Kaala and Kabali fame Pa Ranjith will be directing a Tamil-Telugu multi-starrer before making his debut in Bollywood.
He had announced that he will be making his Bollywood debut with a film on the life of Birsa Munda, a tribal leader from Jharkhand who stood up to British colonial oppressors in the 19th century. Bankrolled by Namah Pictures, the film was supposed to be go on floors early this year.
But since the shoot has been postponed, Ranjith has decided to make a bilingual film, which will feature some of big names.
Ranjith has apparently approached Arya and Rana Daggubati to play the leads in the film and the pre-production works has already begun. “The film will be a complete action entertainer, which will be extensively shot in Chennai and Hyderabad,” a source said.
