Priyanka Thimmesh has bagged her second film in Tamil before her debut release in Kollywood. Her first Tamil film Uttaravu Maharaja starring Udhaya and directed by Asif Kuraishi will release on November 16. The actor travels to Chennai today to start the promotions for the film. Meanwhile, she will start shooting for her next Tamil project from Tuesday.
“The yet-to-be titled project will be directed by GNR Kumaravelan, who has previously helmed films such as Ninaithali Inikkum, Haridas and his latest being Wagah. Sharing screen with her will be another Kannada actor Kishore.
“He is an award-winning director, and the concept of this particular film is interesting. I look forward to start the shoot,” says Priyanka, adding, “The idea of cinema making is completely changing in Kollywood, and off late, the stories are mostly based on a concept. There are no lead actors as such, and the film focuses more on the character. I am prioritising such films now,” she says.
An established face in Kannada, Priyanka recently had her debut release in Mollywood with Kayamkulam Kochunni. The film starring Nivin Pauly was released on October 11 and was received well by the audience. Meanwhile, Priyanka has a couple of films lined up in Kannada too.
Her next Bheema Sena Nala Maharaja directed by Karthik Saragur is now in post-production stages. The actor will also be seen in Lucky Shankar’s Arjun Gowda, in which she is paired opposite Prajwal Devaraj.
“I am now left with a project in Telugu, and that completes a circle in the south. Talks are on with various directors in Tollywood and I am keeping my fingers crossed,” she says.
