Actress Tamannaah Bhatia is currently busy shooting for Vijay-directed trilingual horror movie Kaantha, which also stars actor-director Prabhu Deva and Sonu Sood. The film is simultaneously being made in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi. On Wednesday, social media was abuzz with rumours that the Baahubali actress is reportedly gaining nearly 20 kg for her role in the film which she immediately denied on her Twitter page.

While most leading southern heroines have tried their hands at the horror genre, Kaantha will be Tamannaah’s first attempt. It’s not yet known whether she’s playing the ghost, because some recent reports indicated that she plays someone who gets possessed. However, there has been no official confirmation yet regarding Tamannaah’s role in the film, which will hit the screens later this year.

The film is titled Abhinetri in Telugu, while the Hindi version is yet-to-be-titled.

Tamannaah, meanwhile, has commenced work on her film, Kaththi Sandai, with Vishal. Over the last couple of months, she’s believed to have completed her work on Baahubali 2, which is expected to hit the screens next year.
