National Award-winning filmmaker Praveen Sattaru has roped in Bollywood actor Mahesh Manjrekar for an important role in upcoming Telugu comedy-drama "Guntur Talkies".
"I'm finally making a commercial entertainer. The story will be set against the backdrop of Guntur slums. I've roped in Mahesh Manjrekar to essay an important character. We will start the shooting soon," Sattaru told IANS.
The film features Sidhu and Madhu Shalini in the lead, while Shraddha Das will be seen in a cameo.
Mahesh has already worked in Telugu films like "Adhurs", "Homam" and "Okkadunnadu".
Sattaru recently won the National Award for his last Telugu outing "Chandamama Kathalu", which unfortunately sank at the box-office.
