Gopichand Malineni, who previously directed Ravi Teja and Nandamuri Balakrishna, has recently ventured into the Hindi film industry with the Sunny Deol starrer 'Jaat'. The movie is approaching a Rs 50 crore collection at the box office. Now, new reports have stated that following the success of Jaat, Malineni will soon sign a movie with Nandamuri Balakrishna in Telugu.
According to Pinkvilla, Gopichand’s next project will feature Nandamuri Balakrishna once again. Following the success of Veera Simha Reddy, Gopichand and Nandamuri are set to collaborate on an action-packed movie. “The script is in development, and production will begin in the latter half of 2025. In the meantime, NBK will complete his ongoing projects, including the much-anticipated Akhanda sequel,” a source shared.

Gopichand is also in talks to make a movie with Power Star Pawan Kalyan. He is currently discussing an action film with Pawan. “If they move forward, the film will likely begin production in 2026,” the source added.
The 2023 hit Veera Simha Reddy from Gopichand and Nandamuri also featured Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, Shruti Haasan, Honey Rose, and Duniya Vijay in key roles. The film grossed around Rs 130 crore at the box office.

Malineni’s Bollywood debut, Jaat, with Sunny Deol, hit theatres on April 10 and earned around Rs 45.44 crore in India, according to Sacnilk. The movie also starred Randeep Hooda and Regina Cassandra, alongside Saiyami Kher, Jagapathi Babu, Ramya Krishnan, and Vineet Kumar Singh in pivotal roles.
