Nagesh Kukunoor, Nikhil to join hands for bilingual

Bollywood filmmaker Nagesh Kukunoor, who is best known for his movies like Hyderabad Blues, Dor, Dhanak and Iqbal and actor Nikhil Siddhartha are ready to collaborate for a Hindi-Telugu bilingual.

"Last week, Nikhil met Nagesh in Mumbai for story narration. Nikhil loved what he heard. Both are really excited to collaborate but the official paper work is still pending. The makers plan to make everything official over the weekend," a source close to Nikhil told IANS.

According to the source, the initial plan was to make the film originally in Telugu.

The source further added, "Nikhil insisted that the film be made in Telugu. Since Nagesh is quite popular in Bollywood, it was decided unanimously that the project will be made in two languages. The makers are yet to begin casting process".

Nikhil is currently busy with his Telugu movie, Keshava, which is about to wrap up.

He will soon start the shooting for his next later this year.

The Hindi-Telugu bilingual will mark Kukunoor's Telugu debut.
