Samir Kochhar's making his Kollywood debut
After having carved a niche for himself as a popular host of the small screen, Samir Kocchar, a name almost synonymous with the Indian Premier League (IPL), is all set to make his Tamil debut with the horror-thriller Adho Andha Paravai Pole, which has Amala Paul in the lead.
Directed by debutant Vinoth KR and produced by Century International Films, the film is about a young woman lost in the jungles of the Western Ghats with only trees and animals for company.
The film has predominantly been shot in the jungles of Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh. Its first look poster was recently unveiled by Kajal Aggarwal.
Reportedly, Samir, who has a handful of Hindi movies and web series to his credit, was so fascinated by the script and his character that he immediately agreed to come on board.
Meanwhile, his co-star Amala Paul is making her Bollywood debut alongside Arjun Rampal in a yet-untitled flick being directed by Naresh Malhotra.
