South Africa to South India
South African model-turned-actress Diah Nicolas will make her Tollywood debut in S.V. Krishna Reddy’s sequel to his earlier film Yamaleela. Diah has been in the city for the past six months, being trained and groomed for her debut. The fantasy film has Mohan Babu in the role of Lord Yama, while Diah plays the female lead opposite a new leading man. With the film already on the floors, Diah is also being coached in dance moves by a couple of Telugu film choreographers. We have received some exclusive movie stills and we can tell you that the South African beauty looks like a typical Telugu girl. “Diah has been learning Telugu and familiarizing herself with the film industry since the past six months,” her manager says, adding that he would like her to change her name after this film, as the audiences prefer South Indian names.
