Tollywood's macho man Gopichand is soon going to team up with director Paruchuri Murali for a new movie, says reports. J Bhagawan and Pulla Rao are expected to produce this film under Sri Balaji Cine Media banner. Currently, the film is in pre-production stages and the director is working on the script.

Paruchuri Murali made his directorial debut with Gopichand starrer Andhrudu. He also directed Nandamuri Balakrishna in Adhinayakudu. The film failed miserably at the box office and eventually the director took some time to bounce back. If everything goes as planned, the Gopichand starrer will go onto the sets early next year.

Currently, Gopichand is busy working for Soukhyam and an untitled film with director B Gopal.
