Richa to play NRI in Vaaradhi

Richa Gangopadhyaya is back in Telugu after Merapakai, which released in January this year.  Although she is playing the second fiddle to Anushka Shetty in the movie, she is upbeat about her role in the very important film that stars Prabhas in the lead.

For a change, Richa is trying the role of an NRI here.  Since she happens to have lived in America as a student, it should not be difficult for her to pull off the role because she would know the behaviour and the manners of non-resident Indians.

The film is set to release in the summer of 2012.  Directed by Koratala Shiva, the film has music by Devi Sri Prasad.

She might have tough time competing with Anushka, who is definitely a bigger face than her.  It is to be seen whether she will be able to outshine the dusky beauty.  It becomes all the more important because Vaaradhi is the biggest film to have happened to her in a long time.
