There’s a good reason to have a déjà vu feel reading the title and getting into a conclusion that it’s just another flick set to begin.

But, in a reality check it’s literally a deceiving statement about Priyamani. For, she’s not going to be paired up with actor Ram for a Telugu film. But, ‘Ram’ is a Kannada film that will debut Priyamani pitted against Puneeth Rajkumar in the lead.

The Kerala born star dwelled in Bangalore all along and is a fluent Kannada speaker. When she turned a model, director Bharathi Raja gave her the first break in Tamil. After becoming a popular actress in Telugu and Tamil, Priyamani still had the longing to act in a Kannada film and attain fame in the industry.

The dates never fell in place until Aditya Babu managed to set things right and bought Priyamani into Sandalwood. Her ongoing work includes ‘Mithrudu’ with Balakrishna and Mani Ratnam’s ‘Ravana’.

‘Ram’ will go to the floors once she’s done with the committed schedules.
