Nani marked his birthday on Tuesday by announcing the title of his much-anticipated film with director Sujeeth – Bloody Romeo. The makers released a teaser to introduce the project.
Nani announces Bloody Romeo with Sujeeth
The promo presents Nani in an intriguing dual-shaded role, a man described as both a “No. 1 chef” and a gangster. It shows him calmly preparing a fiery dish inside what appears to be a gangster den, before the situation spirals into chaos. As the sequence unfolds, the character’s calm exterior gives way to calculated aggression. A tagline emerges by the end: “He’s No. 1 Chef,” which is dramatically crossed out and replaced with “He’s No. 1 Gangster.”
The announcement teaser was accompanied by the edgy track “No. 1 Gangsta” composed by Pravin Veyra and sung by Kayo Drip. Sharing the update, Nani described the project as a mix of action, fun, madness and emotion.
Little bit of action..
Little bit of fun..
Little bit of madness..
And a whole lot of love 🙂#BloodyRomeo

About Bloody Romeo
Mounted as a pan-Indian project and produced by Venkat Boyanapalli under Niharika Entertainment, Bloody Romeo is expected to go on floors this summer once Nani wraps up shooting for The Paradise, directed by Srikanth Odela.
Meanwhile, there are reports that the film may have already secured a digital deal, with Netflix reportedly acquiring streaming rights. The project was formally launched with a grand pooja ceremony attended by several industry members, including Venkatesh.
Speculation also hints at Malayalam star Prithviraj Sukumaran joining the film in a key role, although further casting details are yet to be officially announced.
