Power Star Puneeth Rajkumar’s next project, Ninnindale, has been put on hold because the team behind the film has not zeroed in on a lead actress. Several actresses from the hindi and Telugu film industries were considered for the role, but none were finalized.

The movie, which was supposed to go on the floor in the second week of June, was delayed because Puneeth was busy shooting for the Mohanlal-starrer Mythri. In fact, the actor still has a week’s worth of shooting left before he is free to shoot for Ninnindale.

If everything goes accord to plan, Ninnindale might go on the floors by August. Almost 90% of the movie will be shot in the US, as the plot unfolds in a foreign location. This is the first time that Puneeth will shoot for more than 40 days in a foreign country.
