Sonia Mann to do a thriller

Punjabi girl Sonia Mann, who made her Telugu debut with Dhee Ante Dhee opposite Srikanth, has signed another Telugu film. She plays the female lead in a thriller directed by Sekhar Suri.

Interestingly, Sekhar’s earlier films like A Film By Aravind and Three have also been thrillers. “This film is female-centric and the director roped in Sonia for the main lead. The shooting will start in September,” says a source.

The actress is the daughter of Baldev Singh Mann, editor of Hirawal Dasta — a mouthpiece of the Naxalite movement (CPI-ML), who was gunned down by Khalistani militants in 1986. Other details of this film will be announced soon.
