South star Nani announced his new production venture, Court - State Vs A Nobody, on Friday. The actor's home production company, Wall Poster Cinema, unveiled the title through a motion poster on Instagram. The clip depicts Lady of Justice in the witness box, holding a sword and wearing a blindfold. Pigeons, symbols of peace, fly around her, creating a striking contrast with the tense atmosphere. Court - State Vs A Nobody will mark the directorial debut of Ram Jagadeesh. The film features Priyadarshi Pulikonda in the lead role. The caption of the post read, "A gripping courtroom drama that deals with the most important subject. Natural Star Nani Presents #COURT - 'State Vs A Nobody' Starring Priyadarshi. Directed by Ram Jagadeesh."
On Friday, the Court - State Vs. A Nobody team gathered for a pooja ceremony. Photos from the event were shared by Wall Poster Cinema on X (formerly Twitter). The pictures featured Nani alongside the rest of the cast and crew. The actor-turned-producer wore a striped kurta, white pyjama and a white and gold angavastram for the occasion. He was also seen holding a clapperboard.
#COURT begins with an auspicious puja ceremony. Shoot begins this September ✨
