Shobhita Rana lands role in Vaishnav Tej’s film

After debuting in Hindi and Kannada films, Shobhita Rana is back in Tollywood. She is the latest addition in the upcoming Vaishnav Tej-Ketika Sharma film directed by Gireesaaya, which was launched in April. Shobhita is playing a central character.

The actress, who joined the sets of the romantic family drama on Thursday, is elated by the opportunity. “I am super excited to be part of such a big project and am looking forward to working with the young and talented team,” she says.

“It’s a significant role and I have been waiting for quite some time to sign a good project in Telugu. I feel this film is worth the wait,” shares Shobhita, who is also a fashion designer. The filmmakers approached Shobhita on seeing her photos and cast her after a look test.  

The actress reveals that she was initially sceptical about working in the South. “I was keen to work in Bollywood and I have started off well. But I have been getting opportunities from the South too, so I felt like expanding my horizons. With the kind of content that’s being made here, I think it’s a great time to be part of the industry,” says Shobhita, who is working on her Telugu for her part.
The film is currently being shot in Hyderabad.
