The female lead for power star Pawan Kalyan's yet-untitled next Telugu project has been finalized.

According to the industry buzz, Nayanthara is likely to be roped in as the female lead opposite Pawan Kalyan. It is learnt that the makers approached Nayanthara for the role recently and she agreed to it. She, however, is yet to sign the paper. The makers are planning to rope in a young heroine for a key role in the film.

Pawan Kalyan’s forthcoming film was launched in Hyderabad on Tuesday on the auspicious day of Dussehra. The film will be the remake of Tamil film Vedalam. “It was a very low-key launch. Pawan Kalyan, director Neason and producer A.M. Rathnam attended the event. The film will go on the floors next year,” a source from the film’s unit said. Interestingly, Pawan Kalyan’s next two films are remakes of Tamil hits.

His upcoming Telugu actioner “Katamarayuda” is the official remake of Ajith-starrer Veeram.

The new project, which will be helmed by R.T. Neason, will be the remake of Vedalam.
