Priya Prakash Varrier approached for Kannada film

If Priya decides on taking up the offer, it will mark her debut in Sandalwood.

Debut director Raghu Kovi has reportedly approached the wink sensation Priya Prakash Varrier for his upcoming film. Sources in the know say that the director met the actor at her residence in Thrissur for a discussion but she is yet to take a call on it.

If Priya decides on taking up the offer, it will mark her debut in Sandalwood. The filmmakers have roped in Arjun Janya to compose the tunes for this film which has not been titled yet with Satya Hegde onboard as the cinematographer. BS Sudhindra and E Shiva Prakash are bankrolling the film under their banner.

On the hero, we hear that either a newbie or a well-known actor may be roped in but no one has been signed up till now. The groundwork for this film has begun and the shooting will commence from August onwards, say sources.

It may be noted here that Priya Prakash Varrier debuted in the Malayalam movie Oru Adaar Love, which released earlier this year. Directed by Omar Lulu, Oru Adaar Love was produced by Ousepachan Vaalakuzhy under the banner Ousepachan Movie House.

It was a campus entertainer revolving around a set of students. The film had a bevy of newbies in pivotal roles and that included Roshan Abdul Rahoof, Noorin Shereef, Siyadh Shajahan, Priya Warrier and Michelle Ann Daniel.

While the director himself was in charge of the story, the screenplay was penned by Sarang Jayaprakash and Lijo Panadan. Shaan Rahman had composed music for this venture with Sinu Sidharth cranking the camera and Achu Vijayan editing it.

While this film turned gained popularity even before its release, thanks to its heroine Priya Prakash Warrier’s wink in a song, it turned out to be a box office dud after its release with critics panning the film.
