Tamil actor Vishal Krishna Reddy, who has been delaying his Telugu project for a long time, says he is foraying into the industry to fufill his parents wishes.
The film will go on the floors in December this year.
Vishal, who was born in a Telugu household, has so far worked in Tamil filmdom.
"It's my parents' wish to see me do a Telugu film. The idea has been there for a long time, but it has finally materialised now. I'll start shooting from December. The prep-production work has already started," Vishal told IANS.
Interestingly, his Tamil films were dubbed in Telugu, and a few did reasonably well at the box office.
Debutant Sashikanth, former associate of filmmaker Srinu Vaitla, will direct Vishal's Telugu debut. The rest of the cast will be finalised soon.
