According to recent reports, Nandamuri kalyan Ram has finalised a new project with acclaimed writer Srikanth Vissa — best known for his work on the blockbuster Pushpa: The Rise — marking a fresh collaboration expected to bring something exciting to telugu cinema audiences.

This untitled film has been locked officially, and an announcement is expected soon from the makers. The shooting is likely to begin in the second half of 2026, with a tentative plan to release the movie by the end of the same year.

✍️ Who Is srikanth Vissa?

Srikanth Vissa is a prominent indian screenwriter primarily working in telugu films. He came into the limelight after contributing to the writing of the hugely successful pan‑India film Pushpa: The Rise (and its sequel), which was praised for its writing and mass appeal.

Besides Pushpa, Vissa has been associated with other notable telugu projects and is considered one of the sought‑after writers in Tollywood. He has multiple projects in various stages of development and is respected for his ability to craft compelling stories and dialogues that resonate with mass audiences.

📈 Why This Collaboration Matters

For Kalyan Ram, this collaboration comes at an important time. The actor‑producer is currently looking to bounce back after a series of films that didn’t meet box‑office expectations. His last major hit was Bimbisara in 2022, but subsequent releases such as Amigos and Devil didn’t perform as well commercially.

Partnering with srikanth Vissa — a name associated with the Pushpa brand of raw, rustic storytelling — raises expectations among fans and trade analysts that this new film will offer a powerful, authentic story with mass appeal.
