Chiranjeevi's niece and Varun Tej's sister, Niharika Konidela, has faced several challenges in her career, particularly following her separation from her husband. However, she took a brief hiatus, returned to acting, and is now actively working on quality projects. 

Sangeeth Shoban signs a film as solo lead

In a significant move for her career, Niharika ventured into film production with her inaugural feature, Committee Kurrollu. This village drama, which showcases a completely new cast and a first-time director, surpassed expectations and achieved remarkable success at the box office. The film remains a trending title on ETV Win's top ten list, reinforcing its appeal among viewers.

Recently, OTTplay reported that Niharika has enlisted director Manasa Sharma, recognized for her work on Sony Liv’s Bench Life, to lead her second production. The announcement was made discreetly, yet it caught many by surprise, as Niharika chose to back another emerging director. This choice underscores her dedication to fostering new talent within the industry.

Manasa Sharma makes her big screen debut

Now, the latest buzz is that Niharika has signed rising star Sangeeth Shoban as the lead actor for this project. The most exciting aspect of this development is that Sangeeth will be playing the solo lead for the first time in his career. Until now, he has mostly appeared in ensemble casts. Sangeeth is currently enjoying the success of his latest film, Mad 2, which has grossed nearly Rs 70 crore at the box office, an impressive feat for a film featuring relatively new actors.

On the other hand, director Manasa Sharma has previously created the Sony Liv romantic drama series Bench Life, starring Vaibhav Reddy and Ritika Singh. The series, which portrays the lives of corporate employees in Hyderabad, was a major hit. Now, she is taking on the challenge of directing her first feature film, a significant step in her career.

Manasa Sharma and Sangeeth Shoban have previously collaborated with Niharika on web projects. Manasa played a role as a writer for Pink Elephant Pictures' Oka Chinna Family Story (ZEE5), while Mahesh Uppala has co-written the screenplay and dialogues for the forthcoming film. Manyam Ramesh is the executive producer. Additional information about the filming and release will be shared shortly. Keep an eye out for more updates on this thrilling project.
