Avika Gor turns journalism student

Avika Gor seems to have returned to Tollywood this year with renewed spirit. After she had signed two films, Thank You and another yet-to-be-titled film under director Sredhar Seepana, the actress has signed another film, under director Balveer for producer Sajja Venkateswara Rao.

The director says that the film is an investigative thriller with fantasy elements. “Avika will play the role of a journalism student; her character will have a lot of spunk,” shares the director, adding he had zeroed in on her after the actress lost weight.

“Avika is a performer. I thought we can show her in a new dimension with her weight loss, as she perfectly fits the role of a student,” adds the director.

The actress has also undergone workshops for a few days for the part. “She will be seen as a girl who is constantly doing research, backpacking, and traveling, etc. She had worked a bit on her looks and diction,” says the director, adding that Avika was excited in her first narration itself over zoom call.
