Isha Sherwani selected for Ajit-starrer

Hindi actress Isha Sherwani has been chosen to play opposite Ajit in "Billa", the remake of Rajinikanth's 1980 classic. It is to be directed by Vishnuvardhan. Ananda S. Suresh is producing the film.

Ajit dons the role played by Rajinikanth in the original. The blockbuster which brought stardom to Rajinikanth featured two actresses – Praveena and Sripriya – in the lead.

Isha Servani has been chosen as one of the heroines to pair with Ajit. She has earlier acted in the Hindi film "Kisna".

The second heroine is still not been decided. Speculation was that Nayanthara, Trisha and Shreya were vying for a role played by Praveena or Sripriya in the original. There was also talk that Nayanthara might get the role played by Praveena.

Expectations are high for Ajit-starrer "Billa" and the question being asked is whether Ajit will be able to match Rajinikanth's charming performance in the original. The stage has been set to commence work on the 2007 version of the film. .
