Producer Anil Sunkara of upcoming
Telugu film "Lie", which stars Nithiin and Megha Akash in the lead, on
Wednesday said they have completed 75 days of non-stop shooting in the
US and are headed back home.
The title "Lie" stands for Love is Endless.
"Lie' team starting back after non-stop 75 days stay in the US. From
Chicago airport," Sunkara tweeted.
Being directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, the major part of the film's
shooting has been completed.
"Nearly 80 percent of the project was shot in the US. The remaining
portion will be shot in Hyderabad over the next few weeks," a source
from the film's unit told IANS.
Tamil actor Arjun plays the antagonist.
On why he chose Arjun, Hanu told IANS: "Honestly, I didn't have anyone
else in mind for this role. I needed someone to play this very bold
character and I could only imagine Arjun.
Hanu was very nervous to even approach him with the offer.
"I didn't even have the courage to pitch the story. I kept assuming how
he will react if I approach him with a negative role but when I finally
did, he liked it instantly," he said.
