Arka Media Works, the powerhouse behind the Baahubali franchise, is venturing into the supernatural thriller genre with an intriguing new project. Initially, the makers had approached Rana Daggubati to play the lead role. However, an exciting twist has added to the anticipation surrounding the film.
“Realizing the immense potential of the script, Rana Daggubati decided to take on a larger role and joined as a co-producer for this ambitious big-budget film,” a source close to the project revealed.
The film is set to be a period mystical thriller with a modern twist, promising an engaging mix of eerie storytelling and cutting-edge visuals. According to insiders, the script has shaped up exceptionally well, sparking expectations for a unique cinematic experience.
In recent times, Tollywood has seen a resurgence of supernatural themes, with films like Virupaksha and Maa Polimera 2 achieving blockbuster success. Riding this wave of interest in black magic and mystical tales, Arka Media Works appears ready to deliver another genre-defining movie.
While the lead role was initially intended for Rana, the hunt for another star is now underway. The delay in finalizing the cast has pushed the production timeline, but filming is expected to commence next year once the new hero is locked in.
This project marks a significant return for Arka Media Works, which has taken its time to develop a compelling script post-Baahubali. The collaboration also adds to Rana Daggubati’s diverse portfolio, as he is already bankrolling Kaantha, a promising venture featuring Dulquer Salmaan, who is basking in the success of his recent Tollywood hits.
With Arka Media Works’ track record of creating cinematic marvels and Rana Daggubati’s knack for bold storytelling, this supernatural thriller is poised to be a game-changer. Fans can expect a blend of suspense, thrill, and visual spectacle when the project comes to life.
Stay tuned for more updates on the casting and production timeline!
