Hansika Motwani, who played heroine in the recent blockbuster 'Desamuduru' of Allu Arjun directed by Puri Jagannath, was well known among the audiences as a child artiste through 'Koyi Mil Gaya', a Bollywood movie.

She was selected as one of the heroines for the forthcoming film of NTR to be directed by Meher Ramesh and produced by Aswinidutt on the banner of Vyjayanti Movies.

'Kantri' is the title selected for the movie. Hansika played heroine in Aap Ka Suroor in Hindi and Desamuduru in Telugu.

So, 'Kantri' would be the third film in her career.

Presently NTR is busy with the socio fantasy film 'Yamadonga' being directed by SS Rajamouli, presented by Rama Rajamouli and produced by Cherry and Urmila Gunnam on the banner of Viswamitra Creations.

'Kantri' would go to sets after the release of 'Yamadonga'.
