It was an unexpected move from Venkatesh, Okaying to act under the direction of Meher Ramesh. It is really a daring decision for any Hero to give opportunity to a director, who has not given a single hit in his career so far even after directing three movies with big star cast. Moreover Meher Ramesh's previous movie was made on highest ever budget as far as Tollywood movies are concerned, but ended up being a miserable flop.

Although, Venkatesh's fans are not supporting him on his decision, he is still having lot of confidence in Meher Ramesh. The movie has already been confirmed and the makers are planning for the title 'Shadow'. Richa Gangopadhyay is going to be the female lead while Srikanth is going to play a crucial role in this film. Top music director Thaman is going to score the music for the film.
