Priyadarshan Signs Ajay Devgan’s Heroine

On Tuesday afternoon the  indefatigable Priyadarshan selected  his leading lady for Hungama 2 out of the many hopefuls  who auditioned.

 It is  none  other than Pranitha Subhash, a prolific  Bangaluru-born actress who has done films in  Tamil,  Telugu and Kannada since 2010 when she made her debut in  Porki, the Kannada remake of the Telugu blockbuster Pokiri.

Pranitha  will make  her Hindi debut opposite Ajay Devgan in  Bhuj The  Pride Of India.

Priyadarshan is  all  praise  for  this  talented Southern actress. “The  minute she  walked in for  the audition I knew she  was  the one . I’ve signed Pranitha for Hungama 2 with Meezan Jaffrey. I am  very happy with my casting. The  pair is  fresh and excited  about  working  in my film. They  don’t have the jaded  seen-it-all attitude of some established stars. Not yet.”

Adds Meezan , “I am  big fan of Priyan Sir and  really looking forward  to working with him.”
