Following the surprise success of Court, director Ram Jagadeesh has become one of the most talked-about new talents in Telugu cinema. Now, strong industry buzz suggests that he may reunite with actor-producer Nani for another ambitious project — this time possibly starring Dulquer Salmaan in the lead role.
Court, produced by Nani, turned out to be one of the most profitable ventures of the year. Despite its modest budget and cast, the film struck gold both critically and commercially. Its post-theatrical release on Netflix expanded its reach across India, earning widespread acclaim for its gripping courtroom drama and hard-hitting message. Ram Jagadeesh’s storytelling finesse quickly put him on the map as a filmmaker to watch.
Interestingly, sources reveal that Nani had already locked in a second film with Ram Jagadeesh while Court was still in production. What makes the upcoming project even more exciting is the rumored casting of Dulquer Salmaan in a lead role. While the details are still under wraps, insiders say the film is a high-concept drama, and initial discussions between all parties have been promising. Once the final script is locked, an official announcement is expected soon.
With Nani once again backing the film and a pan-Indian star like Dulquer possibly headlining it, the expectations are sky-high. If Court made waves without any typical commercial elements, fans are eager to see what this powerful combination can deliver on a larger scale.
As of now, the film is in the pre-production stage, and more clarity is expected in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, Nani is gearing up to join the sets of The Paradise next month. Director Srikanth Odela will be filming the portions that don’t require Nani’s presence until then.
In the background, Ram Jagadeesh is also said to be keen on directing a film featuring Nani in the lead, adding further intrigue to their creative partnership.
Stay tuned — if these collaborations fall into place, Telugu cinema could witness something truly special.
