Sampath Nandi to direct Gabbar Singh 2

If the reports are to be believed director Sampath Nandi is going to direct the sequel of Gabbar Singh. Pawan Kalyan preferred this Racha maker as Harish Shankar will be busy with Jr NTR's untitled flick for next six months. The film will go to floors by mid-May. It's still not yet clear whether Pawan himself would produce the flick on his home banner 'Pawan Kalyan Creative Works' or will be working for his close buddy Sarath Marar's maiden production.

The reports of a director of Sampath's calibre directing Gabbar Singh 2 will be big shock to the Mega fans as they have seen what this young filmmaker is up to with Racha already. Why Pawan dared to take such huge risk when a bunch of ace filmmakers were eagerly waiting for his nod?

Gabbar Singh isn't just a blockbuster, but it was the film that helped Pawan to regain his glory and once again proved his Box Office stamina. The terrific rapport shared by Powerstar and Harish Shankar played a crucial role in the success of the movie. It's hard to digest the fact that someone other than Harish would be wielding the megaphone for the sequel. What's the gut feel of the power-actor in choosing Sampath? Keep waiting for more updates.
