As the new year has begun, fans of South films are excited to watch new films take over the theatres and draw back the audience after a major setback due to COVID-19. Shoots of films have started and filmmakers and actors are leaving no stone unturned to give their best. Here's what is happening in the South film industry:
Ram Charan to team up with uncle Pawan Kalyan for Shankar's next?
As per reports, Ram Charan and his uncle Pawan Kalyan have been approached for an upcoming film directed by Shankar. According to a news portal, Ram Charan has liked the role and the story and reportedly, an official script-reading session with Pawan is due.
A source close to the project told the portal that if Pawan gives his nod, it will go on floors this year. "Shankar has pitched the script much to the liking of Ram Charan and the director is awaiting for Pawan Kalyan to go through it completely. If the latter gives his nod, the project may see the light later this year," the source told.
Workwise, Ram Charan is busy with RRR and Acharya's shoot. Pawan will be seen in the Telugu remake of Pink titled Vakeel Saab. The shoot of Shankar's Indian 2 is reportedly on hold as Kamal Haasan is busy with his political career.

Kollywood star Vijay's upcoming film, which is being called Thalapathy 65 by his fans, is one of the most awaited projects.
