Teja to take a big risk for his next

Teja has a reputation for being a taskmaster, but this time, he is taking it to a whole new level. For his next film, featuring a bunch of newcomers, the director has decided to head to Agumbe in Karnataka to shoot for nearly a month. And guess what? The entire region is infested with deadly King Cobras.
"The entire hill terrain is infested with so many cobras that there is a research institute dedicated to study their life cycles,��� says Teja, who has just returned after finalising the locales for the shoot which will begin in March.
So, why is he taking such a big risk? ���This dense rain forest region is perfect for the script I have written. Most of the scenes in the film have to be shot in rains and this region is well suited as it receives rainfall for about 22 days in a month,��� he says. And it turns out that Teja has insisted on carrying along vaccines, to cure snake bites, apart from other equipment required for the shoot. ���It���s a risky business, but we will take all the required precautions and safety measures,��� he adds.
