Bhama to play visually-impaired girl in Shekar's next

Kannada

film director

PC Shekar

has begun work on his next film, titled

Raaga

. And for the lead role in this one, he's roped in Bhama. This is the second time the director is working with Bhama, after their last outing for the Kannada film

Arjuna

that had Prajwal Devaraj in the lead. 'The female lead role is a challenging one in this film; it is high on emotional connect and I had to cast some who I was confident about. I have worked with

Bhama

before and I am aware of the kind of potential she has as an actress. I am happy that she took up the challenge,' says Shekar. The team plans to cast a newbie as the male lead. The film is expected to go on floors later this month.
