The shooting of 'Puli' of Pawan Kalyan was formally launched with the puja activities recently. The film to be directed by SJ Surya, is likely to go to sets very soon.

Singanamala Ramesh is producing the film on the banner of Sri Kanaka Durga Movies. However, there is a big suspense about the heroine as no one was selected so far.

Though director Surya tried his best to convince the Bollywood heroine Kareena Kapoor to play in a south Indian film, she expressed her inability citing non-availability of dates and she was very busy with her Hindi films. She was the heroine in 'Khushi'-remake in Hindi which was also directed by Surya. So the director is busy looking after another beautiful heroine for the slot.
