Arjun Reddy, starring Vijay Devara Konda (of Yevade Subrahmanyam fame) in the lead role, is currently having its acting workshop sessions. This rom-com with loads of action is directed by Sandeep Vanga, and produced by Pranay Vanga on Bhadrakali Pictures. Shalini is the heroine.

In the just-out acting workshop video, the lead pair are seen rehearsing for a lip lock. The director is looking for the hero to plant a true-to-life kiss sans artificiality. Vijay fails repeatedly and this leads to some light-veined exchanges.

The film will go on the floors this month. "We are planning to shoot Arjun Reddy in various locations across Hyderabad, Mangalore, Dehra Dun, Delhi and Italy. Music is by Rathan and cinematography is by Nagesh Bannel.

Meanwhile, Vijay awaits the release of Pelli Choopulu, a rom-com where he is paired up with Ritu Varma of Prema Ishq Kaadhal and Yevade Subrahmanyam fame.
