It's a case of a first-time director signing up his second even before the release of his first. What if we said the producer is Sukumar? That makes it all the more sexy.

The guy in Sukumar's good books is Shivaraj Kanumoori, whose 'Jayammu Nischayammura' is yet to hit the screens. 'O Rangula Chilaka', a song from the movie, has impressed Sukumar so much that he signed up Shivaraj for a film under the banner Sukumar Writings.

Of late, Sukumar is into spotting new-age talent, among them Palnati Surya Pratap, the director of 'Kumari 21F' and Hussain Kiran Sha, who conceptualized 'Nannaku Prematho'.

As for Shivaraj, we will come to see his work only in the second half of November when the Srinivas Reddy-Poorna starrer releases.
