Dheekshith Shetty bags a Telugu film backed by Nani

Actor Dheekshith Shetty made a successful transition from the small screen to films with his film Dia last year. Ever since, he has bagged a slew of films in Kannada as well as

Telugu

.

“People in Telugu cinema seem to have watched Dia and have taken a liking to me. The added bonus is that I can speak and dub in Telugu, so it has worked in my favour. This was how I bagged my latest Telugu film

," shares Dheekshith.

An anthology of sorts,

Dheekshith

tells us he is part of one of the stories. "The film is backed by Telugu star Nani and it is directed by his sister

Deepti Ghanta

. The one I am part of is a feel-good story wherein I have been paired with

Akanksha Singh

. Veteran actress Rohini plays my mother in this story," he shares.

The actor has also been working on his upcoming Kannada films

and
