Nithin's surprise choice, film with Ramesh Varma

Nithin has signed a new film and it will be directed by Ramesh Varma who has several flops to his credit: 'Oka Oorilo', 'Veera' and 'Abbayitho Ammayi'. Except Nani starrer 'Ride', all his movies were flops. He is currently directing remake of Tamil movie 'Ratsasan' with Bellamkonda Sai Srinivas.
Ramesh Varma is not known for any exceptional directing skills. Then what made Nithin to sign this director when his acting career itself is in doldrums with series of flops?
The film will be romantic entertainer and it will have music by Devi Sri Prasad and Natarajan Subramanian will handle the cinematography.
Koneru Satyanarayana is producing it on A Studios banner. The film is likely to start rolling from August. Meanwhile, Nithin will start working with 'Chalo' director Venky Kudumula.
