After the success of Hi Nanna, director Shouryuv is stepping into a much bigger space with his next project alongside Vijay Deverakonda. Titled VDxShouryuv, the film is being mounted as a large-scale global venture, and the buzz around it has been steadily building ever since its announcement. Nani, who has previously worked with Shouryuv in Hi Nanna, was present as the film went on floors.

A big step forward for Vijay Deverakonda and Shouryuv
This film feels like an important project for both Vijay Deverakonda and Shouryuv. Vijay, who has delivered memorable performances in films like Arjun Reddy, Geetha Govindam, Dear Comrade, The Family Star, and Kingdom, seems ready to explore a new space with this one. He also has another big project, Ranabaali, lined up next.
For Shouryuv, this marks a clear shift in storytelling. After the emotional tone of Hi Nanna, he is now stepping into a different narrative style on a much bigger canvas. His debut didn’t just connect with audiences, it also picked up international recognition, including Best Director wins at the Oniros Film Awards and the Swedish International Film Festival.
What really makes this project interesting is the team behind it. The film brings in an international crew, with cinematography handled by Alejandro Martínez, known for House of the Dragon, and a VFX team that has worked on films like Snowpiercer, Gods of Egypt, and Batman Forever. The music is by Hesham Abdul Wahab, who earlier collaborated with Shouryuv on Hi Nanna and is also known for Hridayam and Kushi.
