Actor Sai Dharam Tej has announced his next film with debut director Karthik Dandu. His 15th film will be jointly bankrolled by BVSN Prasad’s Sri Venkateswara Cine Chitra LLP banner and director Sukumar‘s Sukumar Writings. The untitled film is touted to be a mystical thriller, a genre that Sai would reportedly be exploring for the first time.
The poster features a hexagram inside a circle with symbols on each triangle and possibly the eye of Tej in the centre. All of this seems to be imprinted on a broken wooden surface, much like the trunk of a tree.
Sai Dharam Tej took to Twitter to announce the news on Friday, August 14.
