The principal photography of Bheemla Nayak director Saagar K Chandra’s next with Bellamkonda Sreenivas kicked off in Hyderabad last month without much hullabaloo. The film, which is tentatively titled Tyson Naidu, was shot for 10 days in Hyderabad and the unit is now gearing up to start the next schedule in Rajasthan.

A source close to the development tells us, “The unit returned to Hyderabad earlier this week after spending a week in Rajasthan to finalize the locations. The Rajasthan leg will be around for 20 days in October. It will be followed by continuous schedules in Hyderabad. Saagar K Chandra is planning to wrap up the shoot by January or February-end by shooting 20 days every month beginning next month.”

The source adds, “As far as the leading lady is concerned, the makers haven’t zeroed in on one yet. While Nabha Natesh’s name was heard initially, she is not the female face of the project; that’s for sure. The makers are on the lookout for other options. The heroine’s portions will be shot from November, so they are not in a rush. The likes of Rao Ramesh, Praveen and Satya are on board for supporting roles.”

In the film, an action-entertainer, Sreenivas will be seen as a police officer. A Bheems Ceciroleo musical, it is a production venture of Ram Achanta and Gopi Achanta under their 14 Reels Plus banner.
