Chennai: Television actor Sagar of `Mogili Rekulu` fame is all set to make his silver screen debut with upcoming Telugu romantic-drama `Siddharth`, which will be produced by Dasari Kiran Kumar, son of veteran filmmaker Dasari Narayana Rao.
"I have a subject that I think only Sagar can do justice to. I don`t see him as a debutant because with his television experience, I don`t think audience will see him as one. He is a household name in the industry and, therefore, won`t find it difficult to sustain," Naresh Chandra, `Siddharth` director said.
Chandra, who has earlier worked with producer Dil Raju, will start shooting from March onwards.
"My working experience with Dil Raju sir has certainly shaped my career. I feel more confident than I ever felt before and it is with this confidence I`m going ahead with my project," he added.
The rest of the cast of the film will soon be finalised.
