Meanwhile, Ritu Varma has a number of projects in the pipeline. She will be sharing the screen with Nani actor Aishwarya Rajesh in the upcoming Telugu movie Tuck Jagadish. The movie is directed by filmmaker Shiva Nirvana and bankrolled by Sahu Garapati and Harish Peddi. Although Tuck Jagadish was initially slated for release on April 23 this year, it had to be postponed in view of the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. She will also be seen alongside Chiyaan Vikram in the upcoming Tamil movie Dhruva Natchathiram. The romantic number ‘Oru Manam’ from the movie, which was released in October last year, has garnered positive response from fans.
Ashok Selvan will be next seen in Mohanlal’s big budget film Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham. He is currently working on the upcoming movie Hostel.
