Namitha is Jyothika

Hold your breath! Perhaps for the first time in her career, Namitha is getting ready to act in a role, which would require her wearing a saree most of the time.

If sources are to be believed, the actress has been approached by a Sandalwood filmmaker to act in the Kannada remake of Vikraman?s ?Priyamana Thozhi?, which had Madhavan and Jyothika in the lead.

It is said that the actress too has evinced interested to act in the role played by Jyothika and would soon sign on the dotted lines. Meanwhile, Namitha, whose career is on a high in Tollywood after ?Billa?, has signed a hefty deal to act opposite Nandamuri Balakrishna, one of the top actors of Telugu cinema.

According to sources, the actress would play one of the heroines in the film titled Simham, to be directed by Boyapati Srinu. The movie would be produced by Parachuri Shivaram Prasad.
