Having to balance between his political ambitions and his acting career, Upendra is juggling a tough balancing act. With elections just around the corner, the Real star is concentrating on politics. However, that has not deterred him from lining up projects, which he might start after the elections.
Films that will go on floors will be newbie Maurya DN’s directorial (produced by TR Chandrashekar under Crystal Park Cinemas), which will be followed with Shashank’s directorial (made under the director’s home banner). In addition, the hero of I Love You, has also given a green signal to yet another interesting film.
Jayaram Bhadravathi, who had previously helmed Cherry for Sumanth Shailendra, is all set to associate with Upendra for a commercial entertainer. For this one-film-old director, who has associated with filmmakers like Mahesh Babu, R Chandru, he now gets an opportunity to direct a star.
