Like we broke the news earlier, it is now confirmed that Rakul Preet Singh is playing the female lead opposite Mahesh Babu and the actress will join the shoot on August 11.
Directed by A R Murugadoss, Parineeti Chopra was the original choice for the film. Though she showed her consent to work with Mahesh and ARM, due to clash of dates, she backed off from the project, which turned lucky for Rakul Preet.
"The film's shooting will start from July 29 onwards and the makers finally decided to go with Rakul," a source quoted by a leading daily informed.
