Recently, Rajasekhar officially announced that he is going to star in a new film directed by young filmmaker Pavan Sadineni. Sources say Rajasekhar is showing heavy dedication for this project, which he claims is his proper return to the action genre as promised with his fans. Sources close to the camp say that the director has selected a promising title for the film, one that goes well in coherence with Rajasekhar’s tough-guy persona: ‘Magadu’.
