Kalyani Priyadarshan to debut in Telugu

Kalyani Priyadarshan, daughter of popular filmmaker Priyadarshan and actor Lissy, will soon be making her acting debut with a Telugu film opposite Nagarjuna’s younger son Akhil Akkineni in the lead role. This untitled flick went on floors recently and will be directed by Vikram Kumar of 24 and Manam fame.

It is said that Kalyani had been flooded with offers ever since she entered the industry as an assistant art director with the Vikram starrer Iru Mugan. And it was expected that she would become a director just like her dad. But, it looks like she is keener to be like her mother as an actor.

It is said that Kalyani is very impressed by the role in director Vikram’s upcoming project and is expected to give her consent very soon. The untitled project is bankrolled by Nagarjuna’s home production banner Annapurna Studios.
