N Balakrishna’s upcoming with director KS Ravikumar went on to the floors without a title some months ago. Finally, it was announced that the film has been titled Jai Simha and it would be out as a Sankranti release next year.
On this film’s progress, we hear that the team had completed the current schedule of the shooting just recently at the Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad, where a huge action sequence was canned, on the sets erected for the purpose.
The stunts were choreographed by Ram Laxman for nearly 10 days at the film city, say sources. The action sequence has come out very well, which has the entire team happy.
With this done, the team will be flying down to Dubai in a few days, where the song sequences would be shot following which Jai Simha would go into the post-production mode.
Starring N Balakrishna in the lead role, the film has Nayanathara playing his lead pair. Natasha Doshi and Hari Priya are the other female leads in it with Prakash Raj, Ashutosh Rana, Brahmanandam, Murali Mohan, Jaya Prakash Reddy and Prabhakar in the supporting cast.
While the story and dialogues for the film have been penned by M Ratnam, it has been directed by KS Ravikumar. Incidentally, it is KS Ravikumar’s first association with Balakrishna.
Chiranthan Bhatt is the music composer for this flick with C Ram Prasad cranking the camera and Praveen Antony handling the editing. The film is produced by C Kalyan under his banner CK Entertainments. It is touted to hit the silver screens on January 12.
Soon after wrapping up Jai Simha, Balakrishna will be moving over to the NTR biopic which will be on his late father and legendary actor NT Rama Rao, who later served as the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh.
