His Garuda Vega has made him a hotshot director and he is looking to make a different genre film once again for his next. He is excited about making Gopichand's biopic and he shared that the story of the sportsperson amazed him.
"Normally, for biopics we tend to add some drama to spice up the movie but Gopichand's life has more melodrama that we looking to tone down the drama a little bit. Everything is highly positive as Gopichand is more a positive person. Sudheer Babu suggested that we make the sporting legend's biopic but I had my reservations at the start. As I got to know the story, I thought the film is happening by itself. Few producers wanted to add more commercial elements and I rejected all of their offers. This story needs to be said as it is and we are glad to have a Mumbai based producer who is willing to go with our vision. The movie will be made in Telugu and Tamil," said the director.
