Hebah Patel gets a big break

Hebah Patel of Kumari 21F has bagged a big project. She is all set to play the female lead opposite Varun Tej in a film directed by Srinu Vaitla. Tagore Madhu and Bujji are producing this film that will be launched on April 8.

“Initially, they had confirmed Rakul Preet as the female lead, but the makers were really impressed with the performance of Hebah Patel in Kumari 21F and decided to rope her in,” says a source.

Though Hebah had debuted with Ala Ela in Telugu, she became a household name with her stunning performance in Kumari 21F. The actress is now in demand and busy with multiple projects. She is doing Edo Rakam Ado Rakam opposite Raj Tharun and another film with debutant director Bandi Bhaskar. She has also signed a film opposite Nikhil.
