‘Valmiki’ that stars Varun Tej and Pooja Hegde offers galore of surprises. Harish Shankar has changed the script of Tamil dark comedy ‘Jigarthanda’ to suit the nativity of the Telugu land and he has also changed the period setting of the story. The majority of the movie takes place in the 80s and 90s.

Meanwhile, Harish Shankar is roping in several stars to appear in guest roles. Director Sukumar has already completed playing the role of a movie director in the movie. Now, Nithin is filming a sequence. Since the movie is set in the backdrop of the film industry and rowdy gangs, Harish Shankar is roping in several celebrities to make a cameo appearance. 

Why did Nithin agree to do this film when he is already shooting for two of his movies? Well, Nithin is a big fan of Pawan Kalyan and he likes Harish Shankar for being given such big blockbuster like ‘Gabbar Singh’ to his favorite star. So, Nithin immediately has agreed to this film.

‘Valmiki’ is slated for September 20 release.
