Exclusive: Sai Pallavi to headline lady-oriented film?

If reliable sources are to be believed, talented actress Sai Pallavi has reportedly given her nod to her maiden female-oriented film in Tollywood. “She has liked the gripping story narrated by writer Karthik Theeda and the discussions are underway,” says a source and adds, “If it comes through, it would be the first female-centric movie for Sai Pallavi who tasted success in Telugu with hits like 'Fidaa', MCA' and 'Love Story' and has become a household name among Telugu viewers,” he adds.

He further adds, “Karthik Theeda belongs to the Srikakulam region and has penned a real-life love story ‘Thandel’ after in-depth research with all the minute details. Earlier, Karthik worked as an associate director for renowned director Krishna Vamsi. He is providing the core story of ‘Thandel, while it is being directed by Chandoo Mondeti,’ he points out. Now, he has moved on and has narrated another script to Sai Pallavi who is quite choosy and selective about her roles and scripts,” he adds. The much-hyped movie would be produced by renowned Annapurna Studios and it would commence soon.

Recently, Sai Pallavi wowed audiences with her sterling performance in ‘Amaran’ as Indhu Rebecca Varghese, who loves and marries Mukundan, an Indian Army Officer.
