Chennai : Actresses Raashi Khanna and Anupama Parameswaran are set to play the leading ladies in Ram Charan's next yet-untitled Telugu project, a source said.

"Anupama has already been signed on while negotiations are still underway with Raashi, who is most likely to come on board soon. Both of them will have equally important roles," the source from the film's unit told IANS.

To be directed by Sukumar, the regular shooting of the project will commence from February.

"The shoot will take place in several parts of India, including a few never explored before locations. It will be a story set against a rural backdrop and will feature an ensemble cast which is currently being finalised," the source said.

The film is being planned as a Diwali release. -Agency
