In a thrilling casting coup, South African-American actor Arnold Vosloo, infamous for his chilling portrayal of Imhotep in 1999's The Mummy, has begun filming for Vijay Deverakonda's upcoming period drama. A behind-the-scenes photo posted by a production crew member shows Vosloo in a casual setting, smiling for the camera. The image quickly gained traction online, with fans reminiscing about their experiences watching The Mummy. The highly anticipated film, VD 14, is directed by Rahul Sankrityan and produced by Mythri Movie Makers. Vijay Deverakonda leads the cast, with the rest of the lineup yet to be announced. While there are whispers about Vosloo's character, a British officer and potential antagonist, the film's team has not made any official announcements. The project is rumored to feature Rashmika Mandanna, although her role remains unconfirmed. Set against the backdrop of British colonialism in India between 1854 and 1878, VD 14 draws inspiration from historical events. This is the second collaboration between Vijay Deverakonda and Rahul Sankrityan, following their 2018 film Taxiwaala.
