The pooja ceremony for the upcoming film VDxShouryuv, starring Vijay Deverakonda, took place recently, with Nani making a special appearance to give the ceremonial first clap. Directed by Shouryuv, who previously helmed Hi Nanna, the film is backed by Vyra Entertainment. The project was officially announced on April 18, 2026, and filming is expected to begin once Deverakonda wraps up his ongoing projects. The ceremony featured a heartwarming moment between Deverakonda and Nani, who were seen sharing a hug and a cheerful conversation, which was captured in a viral video. The film aims to deliver a grand cinematic experience, with a talented team including cinematographer Alejandro Martínez, known for his work on House of the Dragon, and music by Hesham Abdul Wahab, recognized for his contributions to Hi Nanna and Hridayam. The recently released lyrical video for the film's anthem, That’s a Roar, has also generated excitement, hinting at a deeply emotional narrative.
