HYDERABAD: Akkineni Nagarjuna is gearing up to join the Sankranthi race, a period when the Telugu film industry witnesses a flurry of releases. This festive season is already crowded with films like Mahesh Babu's "Guntur Kaaram" and Ravi Teja's "Eagle," among others.

Nagarjuna is now set to add to this competition and vie for screens during the Pongal festival. The film marks the directorial debut of noted dance choreographer Vijay Binni, known for choreographing popular songs.
