The shooting of 'Kantri' directed by Meher Ramesh and produced by C Aswanidutt on the banner of Vyjayanti Movies with Young Tiger NTR as hero, Hansika Motwani in the female lead is all set to go to sets on September 14.

Though not a sensational hit, 'Yamadonga' achieved a hit talk and hence NTR is getting ready with a renewed vigour for 'Kantri'.

Incidentally the character's name is 'Kranti', a tongue twister for 'Kantri'.

Besides, Hansika, there is another heroine in the movie. The unit first selected Amritha Rao and later tried to take Zia Khan of 'Nissabdh'-fame in Bollywood.

However, the opportunity knocked the door of Ria Sen, daughter of Moon Moon Sen of 'Sirivennela'-fame.

Though Hansika Motwani's debut film 'Desamuduru' was a blockbuster, she did not sign any Telugu film after that despite several offers.

Whatever be the reasons, after 'Desamuduru', Hansika signed the dotted line for 'Kantri' opposite NTR.
