Allu Arjun's 'Race Gurram' to go on floors May 2

Telugu actor Allu Arjun, who is awaiting the release of his romantic-drama "Iddarammayilatho", will begin work Thursday on his next project titled "Race Gurram".

"The film was to go on the floors a few weeks back but since Arjun was busy with 'Iddarammayilatho', we had to postpone the start of the project," the film's producer, Nallamalapu Srinivas, told IANS.

"Arjun and Shruti (Haasan) are done with their pending projects and are likely to start shooting together from the first schedule," he added.

Shruti completed shooting for her Hindi film "Ramaiya Vasta Vaiya" Monday.

The film, to be directed by Surender Reddy, will also feature Prakash Raj, Suhasini Maniratnam, Brahmanadam, Ali, M.S Narayana, Raghu Babu and Kota Srinivasa Rao in key roles.

"Race Gurram" is being jointly produced by Srinivas and Venkateshwara Rao, while S.S Thaman has been roped in to compose the music for the film.
