Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha is making her Tollywood debut. The "Dabangg" star had previously expressed interest in appearing in a Telugu film, but she later declined.
Sources say director Anil Ravipudi persuaded her to sign on to his film. Anil Ravipudi recently visited Mumbai and read the script to her.
She'll be paired with Nandamuri Balakrishna. Her name will be announced once she receives the advance payment.
The film is billed to be an action drama about a father-daughter relationship. Balakrishna's daughter is played by Sreeleela. The regular shoot will begin on December 8th.
Anil Ravipudi is known for comedies, but with this film, he is attempting to appeal to Balakrishna's core audiences. It is more of a commercial mass movie.
