Writer-director Gopichand Malineni has confirmed that he will be wielding the megaphone for one of Ravi Teja's next movies. Amidst baseless rumours that Akkineni Nagarjuna has okayed his script, the 'Winner' director came up with the rebuttal.

"There is this false speculation about my next film on certain websites ...Pre-production work for my next film with Ravi Teja garu is going on in full swing," he said.

The Mass Maharaja's previous outings with Gopichand were pleasant experiences. 'Don Seenu' and 'Balupu' were decent entertainers. It has to be seen what their third outing is going to be like. Also, this project might take time to come to fruition, given that Ravi Teja is busy with 'Disco Raja', which will release only in December. The actor is also committed to a film with 'RX 100' director Ajay Bhupathi.
