Priyanka Jawalkar lands a biggie

The actress will play the female lead in Kannada superstar Puneeth Rajkumar's upcoming film.

Actress Priyanka Jawalkar seems to be turning heads even before her debut film with Vijay Deverakonda, Taxi Wala, releases. The Maharashtrian girl, who hails from Anantapur, has landed a biggie in Kannada opposite one of the reigning superstars, Puneeth Rajkumar.

“The makers were looking for a fresh face and Priyanka felt like the perfect choice. Producer Rockline Venkatesh apparently saw several profiles before zeroing in on her name. Priyanka has had a long wait for her first film’s release and is quite excited to have got such a big break,” shares a source.

Directed by Pavan Wadeyar, the sci-fi thriller will be shot from the first week of March and has music by D. Imman. “The makers have been doing extensive pre-production and the only thing they were looking for was to finalise their leading lady, a role which ultimately went to Priyanka,” adds the source.
