HYDERABAD: As the megastar kick-started the 350 cc Bullet motorcycle -- with a side-car attached and both painted bright yellow -- there were bursts of crackers all around, Annapurna Studios.

Writer Paruchuri Venkateswara Rao gave the clap and the `Boneless Wonder'-turned-director Prabhu Deva yelled `Action'. That was the `muhurat' of `Shankardada Zindabad', the sequel to `Shankardada MBBS', starring Chiranjeevi and Srikanth as `ATM', the `Anytime Murder' specialist.

Except the director, there was not too much of a change from the original cast and crew. While Jayant C. Paranji directed the first, Prabhu Deva is in charge of the sequel. The heroine though is different. In the first Sonali Bendre played the lead. The producer is yet to announce the name, but it might well be Nayanthara, sources squeal. Regular shooting is to start on February 15 and the movie with six songs will be ready to hit the screens by end of June/July.
