We would have told you several instances of how a few men came to the cinema industry with the dream of becoming directors and ended up becoming heroes and actors. Notable among them is Natural Star Nani. But can you imagine a director becoming a hero and that too after making a hit movie in his debut?

This is happening now in Telugu. The director is none other than Tharun Bhascker and he shot to fame with the movie ‘Pelli Choopulu’ featuring the Radical Stud Vijay Deverakonda. Reports are now arriving that Tharun is all set to make his debut as a hero and this is for a movie which is yet to be titled. Tharun’s last directorial was ‘Ee Nagariniki Emaindi’.

Buzz is that this would commence shooting in the month of December and it would mark the debut of Shammir as director. Apparently, Shammir was very particular that only Tharun can do justice to this role and the film is touted to be a youthful entertainer. It would be interesting to see how Tharun delivers as an artiste.
