Sai Dharam Tej, now known as Sai Durgha Tej, is set to embark on an ambitious new project following his blockbuster success with "Virupaksha." Initially, the actor planned to collaborate with director Sampath Nandi on a film titled "Gaanja Shankar." However, due to budget constraints, this project was unfortunately shelved.

The project was shelved after pre production work. This out-and-out mass entertainer narrated to several heroes, Sampath Nandi got the nod from Sharwanand. The young actor responded on a positive note and People Media Factory will bankroll this prestigious project. People Media Factory is also producing Manamey which is the costliest film made in the actor’s career.

Young actor Sharwanand sounded super confident on Manamey and the film is slated for June 7th release. Sharwanand has signed two new films and he recently commenced the shoot of his 36th film directed by Abhilash Reddy. UV Creations are the producers of this sports drama. Ghibran scores the music.

Sharwanand is also in talks for a comic entertainer to be directed by Samajavaragamana fame Ram Abbaraju. The shooting formalities of this film starts very soon. Sharwanand and Sampath Nandi film will roll next year.
