Actor Nithiin, who hasn’t signed any project after the lackluster show of ‘Chinnadana Nee Kosam’, is expected to team up with Puri Jagannadh later this year.

The duo earlier worked for the ‘Heart Attack’; though it wasn’t a runaway hit, it did rake in good money.

A source says, “Though Nithiin, who is completely focused on his production with Akhil Akkineni as of now, has been listening to scripts, nothing caught his fancy.

It is when Puri bounced him a thread which he liked. The director’s team is currently working on it.” The source adds that Nithiin rates Puri very high and it comes as a no surprise for them to join forces again. “In fact, during ‘Heart Attack’, they’ve decided to collaborate for another project.

Having said that, this film is still in its nascent stages and if only the script shapes up to the actor’s liking, it will move on to floors--most probably after Puri wraps up ‘Jyothi Lakshmi’ with Charmee,” the source states, further adding that Nithiin’s father Sudhakar Reddy is tipped to produce the film. Does that mean Puri will not work with Varun Tej? “No, the project is very much on.

Since the actor’s next with Krish requires him to allot extensive dates, Puri has decided to make a flick with Nithiin in the meanwhile before shifting attention to varun's flick.
