Sakshi Vaidya to Romance Pawan Kalyan in Surender Reddy’s Next

Power Star Pawan Kalyan is all set to join hands with stylish director Surender Reddy for a high-budget Telugu commercial entertainer, and the project has now locked its leading lady. Actress Sakshi Vaidya has been finalized as the female lead opposite Pawan Kalyan, marking their first on-screen pairing. The fresh combination has created strong buzz in Tollywood and among fans, as many have been eager to see Pawan Kalyan in a new pairing after his recent blockbuster success.
This collaboration is especially interesting because Sakshi Vaidya was earlier in talks to be part of Pawan Kalyan’s Ustaad Bhagat Singh, but the opportunity did not work out due to date issues and scheduling conflicts. With this new project, she finally gets to share screen space with the star, making it a major milestone in her career. Industry insiders say the makers were keen on bringing a fresh face for the role, and Sakshi’s recent form helped her bag the offer.
Sakshi Vaidya recently grabbed attention with her performance in the Sankranti hit Naari Naari Naduma Murari, which brought her back into the spotlight among Telugu audiences. While some of her earlier films did not perform well at the box office, the success of her latest release has strengthened her position in the industry. Landing a big film with Pawan Kalyan under Surender Reddy’s direction is being seen as a turning point that could place her firmly among the promising young heroines in Tollywood.
Pawan Kalyan delivered a massive hit with OG in 2025, which crossed ₹300 crore at the box office and reaffirmed his strong box office pull. He is now gearing up for the release of Ustaad Bhagat Singh, scheduled to hit theatres on March 26. Soon after that release, the film with Surender Reddy is expected to go on floors. The project will be produced by Ram Talluri on a grand scale and is said to be a high-octane commercial entertainer with strong action and mass appeal.
The combination of Pawan Kalyan and Surender Reddy has already raised expectations in trade circles, and the addition of Sakshi Vaidya has added fresh excitement to the project even before the shoot begins. With a star hero, a proven director, and a rising heroine coming together, this upcoming Telugu film is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about projects in Tollywood, with fans eagerly waiting for official updates and first-look announcements.
