Nitin is slowly recovering lost ground

Nitin, who has been struggling to survive in the Telugu film industry, is managing to get some films. Just a couple of weeks ago, he has signed a film opposite Nisha Kothari, the sexy siren who dared and bared all in a couple of Ramgopal Varma films in Bollywood. Not that the mentor has dumped her, she has turned southwards. And one of her first films in Tollywood is with Nitin. This has not only given a breather to Nisha, but also to Nitin as well. Similarly, Nitin has bagged another film which will be directed by Ravi C Kumar, who has earlier made a film with down-to-earth title, Saamanyudu. Venkat is the producer of the film. Let's hope this new film will revive Nitin's sagging career.
