Telugu people who have become ‘Fidaa’ over Malayali girl Sai Pallavi in Sekhar Kammula’s ‘Fidaa’, should get ready to welcome another potential Sai Pallavi.
Malayali model-turned-actress Aishwarya Lekshmi has reportedly been roped in to romance Nandamuri Kalyan Ram in his new film to be directed by Jayendra (Siddarth’s ‘180’ fame). Lekshmi thus will be making her Tollywood debut with this romantic drama. It is heard that she has been finalized after considering several fresh faces.
Interestingly, Lekshmi is a Medicine student just like Sai Pallavi, and both hail from Kerala. Following Pallavi’s route, she has reportedly hired a tutor to hone Telugu language skills to make an appealing debut in Tollywood. It is known that Sai Pallavi mastered the Telangana accent before commencing shoot of ‘Fidaa’. If Lekshmi turns out to be as charming and potential as Pallavi, she may also get a red carper welcome in Tollywood.
The list of Malayalam actresses who are foraying into Tollywood is steadily growing, and most of them are successfully establishing themselves here. The most recent examples being Anupama Parameswaran, Sai Pallavi, Nivetha Thomas, Anu Emmanuel etc.
