For a while now there have been rumours doing the rounds that Sonali Bendre is a part of Jr NTR's upcoming project with director Koratala Siva. However, in a new interview, the actress quashed those rumours. Sonali called such reports ‘fake news’ or news that ‘hasn’t reached her’ yet.

Earlier in May, Jr NTR had announced his new project with director Koratala Siva. The popular South star had also unveiled the teaser of the film, which is written and directed by Koratala. Presented by Nandamuri Kalyanram, produced by Mikkilineni Sudhakar and Hari Krishna K, the yet-to-be-titled film is scheduled to hit the floors soon. It was rumoured that Sonali Bendre is also a part of that project. In an interview with Koimoi, the actress clarified the rumours and said, “Who, me? No, I don’t know, please tell me about it. I have no clue what you are talking about. No listen, genuinely I am not. No I have no clue about this, so this is a fake news. Or if it is a news, it hasn’t reached me yet. This is sansanikhez (thriller).”
