Director Hari eyes Atharvaa for new action flick

Director Hari is finalizing his next directorial venture, with actor Atharvaa being considered for the lead role. This potential collaboration would be the first between the actor and the filmmaker, who is known for his commercial entertainers.

Stone Bench Films is reportedly in talks to bankroll the project, and negotiations have advanced positively. An official announcement is expected once all formalities are completed. The film is anticipated to follow Hari's signature style, blending action, emotion, and mass entertainment.

This project emerges after Hari's planned films with Prashanth and Ravi Teja failed to materialize. The former did not take off, while discussions for the latter did not progress. Hari's last release was 'Rathnam.'

Meanwhile, Atharvaa is preparing for the release of his film 'Idhayam Murali,' scheduled for July 10. The film also features Kayadu Lohar and Preity Mukhundhan in lead roles, with a notable supporting cast.
