Nani to team up with Tamil director Prem Kumar for his next: Reports

Nani

Nani is still making a name for himself as one of Telugu cinema's most bankable tier-two actors. The actor has been working with some of the best directors in the business because there is a strong non-theatrical market and a steady stream of story-driven movies.

Nani is now busy making The Paradise, which is being directed by Srikanth Odela, who also made Dasara. The project is set to come out in the first half of 2026, and people are already very excited about it. Nani will move on to work with director Sujeeth on a high-octane action drama that is set to start filming next year after he finishes the shoot.

Nani is now in talks for another exciting project, this time with well-known Tamil filmmaker Prem Kumar, even though he is already working on two movies at the same time. The two met up recently to talk about a new idea, and sources say Nani immediately liked it and gave it a thumbs up.

Nani has long admired Prem Kumar for his sensitive and heartfelt storytelling in movies like 96 and Meiyazhagan. The actor has said in many interviews that he loves Meiyazhagan, so this possible collaboration is especially exciting for him and his fans too. Nani is a natural actor and watching him do a beautiful story written by Prem Kumar is going to be a masterpiece for sure.

But fans might have to wait a little longer to see this come to pass. Nani and Prem Kumar are both busy with other things. Nani has two movies in the works, and the Tamil director is busy with other projects, one of which is with Vikram.

When their schedules match up, an official announcement should be made. People are already looking forward to what will be a refreshing and emotionally rich collaboration between two storytellers who care about depth and soul in movies.
