Ravi will be seen playing three contrast roles and the entire project will be shot in the US. It’s going to be an action entertainer,” a source told Firstpost, adding Vaitla is busy giving finishing touches to the script. In March, he will travel to US and zero in on locations. The rest of the cast and crew are yet to be finalised. However, it has been confirmed that Mythri Movie Makers will bankroll the project. On Tuesday, during his interaction with the media ahead of the release of Touch Chesi Chudu, Ravi confirmed giving his nod for a project with Vaitla. However, he didn’t reveal whether he’s playing a triple role. “The story has to drive any actor and I really loved Vaitla’s story when I heard it. Therefore, I agreed to do the film. It’s best more information regarding the film comes from the production side.” In the interaction, Ravi also said he’s open to explore opportunities in Bollywood. “I’m very proficient in Hindi, so yeah, if an interesting project comes along I might give it a shot.”
