After a hiatus of five years, Nisha Kothari (
Priyanka Kothari), known for films like James and Sarkar, will be soon seen in Telugu thriller Criminals. "Nisha plays an important role in the film. The story is set against a series of cyber crimes and I thought she would fit the bill of one of the lead characters. The film os set to go on floors in September and we plan to shoot non-stop for over two months," the film's director, Tulasi Ram, said.
Criminals will supersede his directorial debut Mantra, he added.
"If 'Mantra' scared the living daylights out of the audiences, 'Criminals' will keep them engaged with taut screenplay. It will be an edge-of-the-seat thriller featuring an all new cast," he added. Nisha, who made her cinematic debut with Tamil romantic-comedy "Jay Jay", is currently also busy shooting for another Tamil film Padam Pesum. She was last seen in a Telugu film Okka Magaadu (2008)
