National Award-winning filmmaker Nagesh Kukunoor says he is excited about venturing into the Telugu film industry with his upcoming movie but is also "terrified." Nagesh, known for directing critically-acclaimed Hindi films like "Hyderabad Blues", "Iqbal", "Dor", has already started shooting for the untitled Telugu film, featuring Keerthy Suresh.

"I've started directing it and the first schedule is over. The official launch will happen soon. I'm terrified doing a Telugu film. It's my mother tongue but I never learned to read and write in Telugu," Nagesh told PTI.
