Puri
Jagannadh's
next
directorial
venture
with
Vijay
Deverakonda
which
tentatively
titled
as
Fighter
is
creating
a
solid
buzz
amongst
the
masses.
Ever
since
the
film
was
announced,
the
makers
are
not
leaving
any
chance
to
keep
fans
updated
about
the
development.
Amidst
all,
a
latest
report
published
in
a
leading
portal
suggests
that
Suniel
Shetty
has
been
approached
to
play
Vijay
Deverakonda's
father
in
Fighter.
A
source
close
to
the
development
informed
the
portal
that
Puri
Jagannadh
approached
the
Pailwaan
actor
for
the
role
as
he
has
enough
prominence
to
do
that.
It
would
be
a
treat
to
see
Suniel
Shetty
again
on
the
silver
screen.
However,
the
makers
have
not
yet
confirmed
about
the
same.
Talking
about
the
film,
it
also
stars
Ananya
Panday
as
the
female
lead.
Puri
Jagannadh
has
already
shot
40
per
cent
portion
including
some
high-octane
action
sequences
in
Mumbai.
If
reports
are
to
be
believed,
the
makers
are
planning
to
resume
shooting
in
Bangkok
from
November
with
Vijay
Deverakonda
and
Ananya
Panday.
Produced
by
Karan
Johar
and
Charmme
Kaur
under
Dharma
Productions
and
Puri
Connects
respectively,
Fighter
also
stars
Ramya
Krishnan
and
Ronit
Roy
in
pivotal
roles.
The
pan-India
project
will
be
shot
in
Telugu
and
Hindi
simultaneously.
It
will
reportedly
be
dubbed
and
released
in
Tamil,
Malayalam
and
Kannada
as
well.
