Actor, TV presenter and RJ, Rohit, who was last in Bucckaasuura (2018), has signed his next project titled Rowdy Fellow. The film is produced under the banner of Swarnalatha Productions, which recently produced Dia in association with Padmavathi Pictures.

The commercial entertainer, presented by FFF, has a few more highlights as well. The script of Rowdy Fellow is mentored and curated by KGF director Prashanth Neel. This film will also mark the directorial debut of the multifaceted Rohit.

Much to the delight of fans, the first look of the actor in the film has also been unveiled by the makers on Rohit's birthday on June 19. The black and white look, featuring a close-up shot of the actor's face, highlights the emotion of anger which is also said to be one of the film's themes.

The actor and debutant director is thrilled that his story is backed by Prashanth Neel. "I had presented four stories to him, of which, he felt this script written by Pradeep would fit me best. We fixed this script which was curated by him," Rohit shares.
