Actor Roshan Meka is slowly but steadily moving forward in his career and recent reports suggest that his journey is getting busier after the release of Champion.

It is being reported that actor Roshan Meka is set to play the lead role in an upcoming Telugu romantic comedy. The film will feature Preity Mukundan as the female lead.

It will be directed by Sailesh Kolanu, who is best known for the HIT film series. The project is produced by Naga Vamsi under the Sithara Entertainments banner. After the release of Champion, this film is expected to mark an important step in Roshan Meka’s career as he moves towards lighter and youthful roles.

Roshan Meka was last seen as the lead actor in a period drama, Champion, directed by Pradeep Advaitham. The film also marked the Telugu debut of Anaswara Rajan.

Champion did not meet expectations at the box office, but many viewers and critics appreciated Roshan for choosing a serious and intense role. His performance received positive feedback.

Reports say that several well-known Telugu filmmakers have now approached Roshan for upcoming projects. One of the most talked-about films is a romantic comedy produced by Naga Vamsi under the Sithara Entertainments banner. The film will be directed by Sailesh Kolanu. Roshan has reportedly been signed as the male lead, as the story focuses on a youthful love theme. Actress Preity Mukundan is said to be playing the female lead in this project.

Another interesting update is about director Gautham Vasudev Menon. Reports suggest that he is planning a new Telugu film and has approached Roshan for the lead role. Gautham has not directed a Telugu film in nearly ten years, making this possible collaboration more exciting.

At the box office, Champion collected close to Rs 9 crores worldwide in its first three days, as per an online report. The film was made on a reported budget of Rs 45 crores and struggled to grow over the weekend due to competition from other releases.
