Premam fame Sai Pallavi, who was last seen in Dulquer Salmaan's Kali, is all set to make her Telugu debut with filmmaker Sekhar Kammula's new project, which features Varun Tej in the title role. Tipped to be a romantic drama, the film revolves around an NRI boy and a girl from Telangana.

In an official statement, the makers have confirmed that Sai Pallavi is the leading lady and the regular shooting will start from July 25. Although Sai was supposed to work in a Telugu film earlier, she had to turn down the offer due to her college examinations. It was only last month that she graduated as a doctor.

The project will be bankrolled by Dil Raju and is likely to hit the screens early next year.
