Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Vijay Deverakonda are reportedly headed to Kashmir later this week to kick start filming of their upcoming movie. The actors are said to have been roped in to play the lead in Majili fame director Siva Nirvana’s upcoming project. While the team is yet to confirm, a new report claims that the project will be shot in the picturesque location for a month.
While no official announcement about the project has come so far, rumours have been doing the rounds suggesting that the two Telugu stars are collaborating. If the reports are true, this would mark Samantha and Vijay’s first film together.
A source close to the project claimed to Pinkvilla, “Samantha has returned from Dubai while Vijay is too back from his European holiday. From April 23, the first shooting schedule will commence in Kashmir. Post this ling schedule, which will end in May, the team will be moving to Hyderabad, Vizag and other places for the shoot.”
“It’s an interesting storyline having Kashmir backdrop. Major part of the story will be canned in the locales of Kashmir,” the insider added.
Samantha was last seen in the Hindi web series, The Family Man 2. While she was on a break since the release of the series, she returned to the spotlight with her sizzling performance on Pushpa’s song Oo Antava. The actress now gears for the release of Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal. The movie also stars Vijay Sethupathi and Nayanthara in the lead.
The actress has a few other projects as well. She will be seen in Shaakuntalam and Yashoda. She is also preparing for her Hollywood debut Arrangements of Love. Meanwhile, Vijay will be seen making his Bollywood debut with Liger this year. The actor stars opposite Ananya Panday in the movie. Backed by Karan Johar and Charmee Kaur, the film is directed by Puri Jagannadh.
