Gopichand's film with director Venkat titled 'Singa'
Hyderabad, June 13
Director V Venkat's upcoming action entertainer, featuring actor T Gopichand in the lead, has now been titled 'Singa', its makers have now announced.
Gopichand, who shared the title glimpse video link on his X timeline, wrote, "#Singa".
The teaser opens with the chirping of birds that instantly transports us into the heart of a dense forest, while the tribal soundscape further heightens the intrigue. In the darkness, a pair of glowing eyes emerges, initially creating the impression of a panther lurking in the wild. However, as the face comes into light, we realise it is Gopichand. The actor, who is seen holding an axe in his hand, exudes a menacing, fear-inducing look. The title of the film 'Singa' is then unveiled.
Sources close to the unit of the film say that 'Singa' will be a high-profile action entertainer that will mark the directorial debut of leading action choreographer V Venkat. The film is being produced by Vijay Chilla and Shashi Devireddy under the 70mm Entertainments banner, which has earned a reputation for backing distinctive and impactful stories.
The film, sources say, will be a potent blend of action, emotion, and drama and that it was being designed to showcase Gopichand in a powerful new role.
V Venkat, they claim, has developed a gripping narrative packed with intense moments and strong emotional depth.
Malayalam actress Anarkali Nazar plays the leading lady in this film. Interestingly, Singa will mark her Telugu cinema debut.
The project also boasts a formidable technical crew. Renowned cinematographer Shamdat ISC handles the visuals, while Sam CS scores the music. National Award-winning editor Sreekar Prasad has been entrusted with the editing responsibilities. The film's production design is to be overseen by Rama Krishna-Monika while the sound design is to be handled by Sachin Sudhakaran-Hariharan.
Sources claim 70mm Entertainments is mounting the film on a lavish scale, ensuring top-notch production values and high technical standards and is leaving no stone unturned in its effort to deliver a grand cinematic experience.

The title 'Singa' sounds powerful, but I hope the story doesn't just rely on action scenes. Gopichand is a talented actor who needs a strong script. Also, having Sam CS for music is a smart move, his background scores in Tamil films are amazing. Let's see if emotional depth part is actually true or just marketing. 🤔
Action choreographer turned director is always a gamble. Venkat has the action expertise but directing is a different ballgame. The technical team is solid though—Shamdat cinematography and Sreekar Prasad editing are top class. 70mm Entertainments usually back good content, so cautiously optimistic. Let the tiger roar! 🐯
Good to see Gopichand teaming up with a new director. But I wish Telugu films would move beyond the typical "man with axe in forest" imagery. That said, the production values look promising and Anarkali Nazar's Telugu debut is interesting. Hope the emotional core isn't sacrificed for mindless action. 🙏
The glimpse sounds intriguing—that transition from panther to Gopichand is creative. But I hope 'Singa' doesn't become another generic mass entertainer. We need more originality in Telugu cinema. Still, with Sam CS on music and Sreekar Prasad editing, there's reason to be excited. Just give us a good story first! ✨
Count me in for any Gopichand film! The man is underrated
