News
oi-IANS
By Ians English
Veteran
actor
Krishnam
Raju,
known
for
films
such
as
"Bullet" and
"Prema
Tarangalu",
hopes
to
revive
his
long-delayed
Telugu
project
"Okka
Adugu"
this
year
with
his
nephew
Prabhas
Varma,
a
popular
actor
in
the
industry.
Krishnam
Raju
told
IANS,
"Prabhas
and
I
will
come
together
for
this
film.
The
script
is
finalised
and
I
have
also
found
a
producer.
We
plan
to
take
the
film
on
floors
this
year
and
I
might
direct
it
as
well
if
I
don't
find
someone
who
shares
my
sensibilities
about
the
film."
Prabhas
is
currently
shooting
for
SS
Rajamouli's
Telugu
magnum
opus
Baahubali
with
Rana
Daggubati
and
Anushka
Shetty.
Krishnam
Raju
added,
"I'm
aware
that
Prabhas
is
extremely
busy
with
'Baahubali'.
But
I'm
sure
he
will
take
out
time
to
work
with
me
on
this
project.
He's
always
been
asking
about
working
together
and
here's
an
opportunity
finally."
Okka
Adugu
is
all
about
corruption
and
will
be
produced
by
Gopi
Krishna
Pictures.
The
title
of
the
movie
is
a
popular
dialogue
from
Prabhas-starrer
Telugu
action-drama
Chatrapathi,
but
Raju
said
the
title
is
not
inspired
by
it.
Krishnam
Raju
said,
"The
title
in
my
film
refers
to
the
step
you
take
against
corruption.
It
literally
translates
to
'one
step'.
I
think
that's
that
step
that
makes
anyone
a
leader.
It's
not
inspired
by
any
of
Prabhas's
film
dialogues."
