Jagapathi Babu's next is a low budget Telugu horror comedy

Chennai: Actor Jagapathi Babu, who has a bunch of big ticket southern projects including ‘Vijay 60’ in his kitty, has taken out time to work in a yet-untitled low budget Telugu horror comedy.

"It was the script that impressed him to come on board. Jagapathi Babu plays heroine Eesha's father in the film. It's a role that comes with a surprise element and the makers are secretly guarding it," a source from the film's unit told IANS.

Directed by debutant Sudhakar, the film also stars Chaitanya Krishna.

"Nearly 50 percent of the film has already been shot. The makers have been flexible with the shoot, given Jagapathi's very busy schedule," he said.
