The comedian-turned-hero is reported to have said that he will soon be seen sharing the screen space with Jr NTR in his upcoming film that is to be directed by Trivikram Srinivas. The director is currently busy with the post-production of the Pawan Kalyan starrer Agnyaathavaasi, which is due for released on January 10 across the globe. Soon after this venture, he will be shifting his focus to the Jr NTR starrer. Details about the rest of the star cast and crew are expected to be out soon.

Meanwhile, Sunil’s fans are happy over his decision that he is staging a comeback and are hopeful that he will have a successful second innings.
