Hrishikesh to make his debut in Tollywood

The actor will be seen playing the lead in a thriller that will be directed by Subbu Vedula and produced by AVR Swamy of Pruthvi Creations. Talking to DT Next, Hrishikesh says, “We will be going on floors from November in Ooty and Hyderabad. The film will be a Telugu-Tamil bilingual. Subbu had seen me in a recently-released music video and that is how he approached me for the role. If RUM was one of the best thrillers I have been a part of, this film will give the audience the thrills in a different way.”

Of late, there has been a lot of buzz in the industry about heroes’ market and revenues for bilingual films. “I am enjoying the process and haven’t thought about it yet. Maybe if I were a bigger star, I would have given it a thought. As of now, I am keen on choosing good stories and experimenting.” He adds that he has been working out for the film. “I am giving most of my time for fitness. This is the time, when I can devote more time to it. I will be adding a few pounds for this upcoming film. Apart from this my Tamil project, Unarvugal Thodarkadai is in its post-production stage. With the situation, I think we might have an OTT release,” he remarks.
