The shooting of
Upendra’s 11th film as director,
UI
, is moving forward at a brisk pace. Even though every tiny detail has been kept under wraps, sources now hint that
Raana
actress
Reeshma Nanaiah has been roped in to play an important, one-of-a-kind role in
UL
. Given that all Upendra-directorials have more than one lead actress, it is safe to assume that more "pretty" cats will be out of the bag soon!
Reeshma, who made her debut with Prem’s
Ek Love Ya
in early 2022, is slowly making her presence felt in the industry.
Getting a role in
UI
is surely a stepping stone for her to make her mark in Sandalwood. Apart from
UI
, Reeshma has
Baanadariyalli
with Golden Star Ganesh and
Vaamana
with Dhanveerrah of
Bazaar
fame.
Sources also confirmed that Sunny Leone will be shimmying to a special number in the film. One of the most expected films of 2023,
UI
will be the first pan-India directorial project for Upendra, where he returns to direction after a seven-year break. Upendra is also working on other acting projects, including
Kabzaa, Trishulam
and
Buddhivantha 2
.
