Neetu Chandra, who did a special song with Ameer in Mysskin’s ‘Yutham Sei’, has impressed the ‘Paruthi Veeran’ filmmaker a lot. As a result, he has signed her for his directorial venture ‘Aadhi Bhagavan’.

If sources are to be believed, Ameer finalised Neetu for the role opposite ‘Jayam’ Ravi after contemplating the names of handful of actresses. Following this, Neetu left for Bangkok on Saturday to shoot for the film.

“Ameer and Neetu bonded well on the sets of ‘Yutham Sei’, which resulted in her bagging the ‘Aadhi Bhagavan’ offer. She is happy and hopeful that the film would be a benchmark in her career”, sources say.

They add: “She loved Ameer’s script and plays a modern girl in the film”. Neetu, who has acted in Tamil films ‘Yaavarum Nalam’ and ‘Theeradha Vilaiyattu Pillai’ before, is the leading lady of Ajith’s 50th movie ‘Mankatha’, directed by Venkat Prabhu.
