Awe director Prashanth Varma to helm Rajasekhars next

By: Express Web Desk | Chennai | Updated: August 22, 2018 11:02:37 pm Dr.Rajasekhar, known for his mass avatars, will sport a completely new look in Prashanth Varmas film.

Prashanth Varmas debut film Awe received glowing reviews from critics. With an ensemble cast comprising Kajal Agarwal, Nithya Menen, Regina Cassandra, the film garnered praise for its experimental and genre-bending nature. And now, Prashanth is all set to helm Dr. Rajasekhars upcoming film.

Rajasekar, known for his mass avatars, will sport a completely new look in the film. “Wishing u all a very Happy Bakrid.Here Im releasing the pre-look of my next with the awesome @prasanthvarma. Launching the title logo on August 26th with all the other details.Chiranjeevi Garu,Many Many Happy Returns Of The Day!#HBDMegastarChiranjeevi From My Team & Me,” tweeted Rajasekhar.

Interestingly, the pre-look poster is the front page of a newspaper, with a headline DR. RAJASEKHAR IN A NEW AVATAR. TITLE LAUNCH ON AUGUST 26. The poster also has a caption WHO IS THE MURDERER?. The newspaper also features a photo of Kapil Dev with the world cup and an ad announcing the release of Chiranjeevis Khaidi. Both are indicative of the year the film is set in — 1983.
