Rakshit Shetty’s upcoming film, Tenali, will be a detective thriller set in a different era. Reports say that the film is set in the pre-Independence era, with Rakshit Shetty playing a detective in it. The film will be helmed by Hemanth M Rao, who had earlier wielded the megaphone for the Rakshit Shetty starrer Godhi Banna Sadharna Mykattu. The film turned out to be a big hit and now the duo are back together with Tenali.
Tweeting about the project, the director wrote: “Ive always been a big fan of history and period pieces. I had this idea for a film set during the independence struggle. I discussed the idea and character with Rakshit who really loved it, so we decided to try a few looks for fun (sic).”

He added with a pic of Rakshit's look: “Tenali is still an idea & has a long way to go. I will only start writing once I’m done with @KavaludaariFilm, it’s still too early to say when Tenali will begin his adventure but whenever it happens, the film will see the 3 of us @PUSHKARA11 #Rakshit & I work together again (sic).”
