Director Teja has started his new movie 'Veyyi Abaddalu' (1000 abaddalu) and the film was launched formally on October 29, 2012 in Hyderabad. Puri Jagannath's brother, Sairam Shankar is the lead actor in the film and Paladugu Prabhakar is producing the film. Teja's earlier movie 'Neeku Naaku Dash Dash' made no impact at the box-office. Puri's brother, Sairam Shankar is desperately waiting for a hit and is currently busy with 'Mr Romeo' and 'Yamaho Yama' movies.
