Nivetha bags a biggie

Nivetha Thomas, who would start shooting for Nani’s next shortly, has bagged a biggie. The Chennai girl, we hear, has been chosen as another leading lady (Raashi Khanna is already on board) in NTR’s forthcoming film under the direction of Bobby.

“NTR is going to experiment and unleash a new dimension of his side with his three roles in the film. As such, the film’s director wanted an all-new cast and crew for the project. Nivetha came across as a promising talent for them and was approached. She gave her in-principle nod to feature in the film,” informs a source from the unit.

A production venture of Kalyanram under NTR Arts, the film, tentatively titled ‘Jai Lava Kusa’, will have its muhurat on February 10 in Hyderabad. It would roll from February 15.
