Raja will be seen in a Manoranjan starrer titled Chillum. The makers considered Priyanka after the audition, as they felt she fit the bill for the female lead.
The Ganapa heroine says she is excited to be on board for Chillum, a film produced by M Gopal under MG entertainments, that has brought back actors Raghavendra Rajkumar and Saritha in pivotal roles. While she reveals that the film will be first of its genre for the Kannada industry, the thought of working with woman director J Chandrakala, added to the excitement, says Priyanka.
