The collaboration between director Vivek Athreya and actor Nani, which will introduce Malayalam and Tamil actor Nazriya Fahadh to Telugu cinema, was a talking point on social media a few days ago. On Saturday, the team formally announced the title of the Telugu project — Ante Sundaraniki .
Ante Sundaraniki is Nani’s 28th film and Vivek Athreya’s third, after Mental Madhilo and Brochevarevarura . To be produced by Mythri Movie Makers, the new film is touted to be a musical rom-com.
