In the recent past there has been a lot of speculation on who was going to bag the plum role in Nagarjuna's upcoming film 'Bhai'. In fact, the PR machinery of upcoming B-wood actress Adah Sharma, who too had auditioned for the role, went about town saying she was the one. However, it now turns out that Richa Gangopadhay has been confirmed for the role, although actor Nagarjuna said that he will make an official announcement soon.Meanwhile, speaking to Hyderabad Times, director Veerabhadram of 'Poolarangadu' fame, says, 'We've done photo shoots with many new faces, but that does not mean that they have been signed up for the film. Just a couple of days back, we had finalised Richa as the female lead.'
According to a source, the film has a mafia backdrop and Nag will be playing a Bhai. Nagarjuna, who is currently sporting a funky young look for Dasarath's film, will once again work on a new look with ripped muscles et al.
Director Veerabhadram says that the film will go on floors in November as Richa is presently shooting with Ravi Teja in Ooty for 'Saar Osthara' and is also doing 'Vaaradhi' opposite Prabhas. According to the sources, Nag is keen on producing this film.
