Actress Anushka who is busy with multiple projects in Telugu including the mega budget period flicks ‘Bahubali’ and ‘Rani Rudrama Devi’ has been roped in to play the lead heroine role opposite Ajith in his upcoming film that is being directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon.

Speaking in an interview, on how he managed to rope in the busy beauty for his film, Gautham said Anushka was kicked about pairing up with Ajith and allocated call sheet of 10 days a month for the film without even listening to the script. However the first 10 days allocated by Anushka were not utilized since the script was not ready. When Gautham apologized for wasting her call sheet, Anushka did not make a fuzz about it and had said to him that script was very important than anything else.
