Amritha Aiyer cast opposite Shaurya
The actress has signed her next project even before the release of her Telugu debut
Even before the release of her debut film in Telugu, 30 Rojullo Preminchadam Ela, actress Amritha Aiyer has signed her next project.
The Padaiveeran star has been paired opposite Naga Shaurya in an upcoming, as yet untitled Telugu film to be directed by debutant Raja Kolusu.
Since the family-and-action drama features Shaurya in a completely new role, the film’s producer Mahesh Koneru felt that the female lead should bring a fresh appeal to the cast.
Mahesh had earlier bought the Telugu rights for Whistle (Tamil film Bigil), and Amritha was a part of that Vijay-starrer.
“Amritha fits the bill of the leading lady as she has the required looks. She can complement Shaurya in the frames and pull off the role with elan. She was a straight choice,” said a source.
Regular shooting is set to commence in mid-March, and the makers are planning to release the film in the second half of the year.
