Director Sujeeth, who struck gold with last year's Telugu directorial debut "Run Raja Run", will next team up with actor Prabhas Varma for a yet-untitled action-thriller in the language.
"Sujeeth will direct Prabhas in his next film. The regular shooting is expected to start from June. So far only Prabhas has been finalised for the project," a source close to Sujeeth told IANS.
The young director is on the lookout for a "new heroine".
UV Creations, the producers of "Run Raja Run", will also produce this film on a high budget.
"Prabhas is busy wrapping up 'Baahubali', and as soon as he's done with it, he'll start shooting for this project," the source said.
Madhie has been roped in as the cinematographer, while the rest of the cast will be finalised soon.
