Actor Akkineni Naga Chaitanya is enjoying a busy career in Telugu cinema but his eyes are set on Tamil filmdom as well. However, he says he hasn't found anything solid to enter the industry.
"I would like to branch out to Tamil since I know the language, but haven't come across anything concrete to take the plunge. I have been talking to a few directors and most of them are interested in doing bilinguals, so let's see how it pans out," Chaitanya told IANS.
The actor, who is basking in the overwhelming success of Telugu family drama "Manam", is currently awaiting the release of romantic-comedy "Oka Laila Kosam" in the same language.
He will start shooting for another yet-untitled Telugu film with Kriti Sanon next week. It will be directed by Sudheer Varma of "Swamy Ra Ra" fame.
