Lavanya Tripathi takes a shot at hockey

Lavanya was excited because the film is a sports drama, a genre she hasn’t yet ventured into.

Lavanya Tripathi has not been signing Telugu films of late, but she’s always been up for grabbing interesting roles.

And staying true to her character, the Srirastu Subhamastu star has signed a Telugu film, A1 Express, which we hear is a sports drama starring Sundeep Kishan. Lavanya, we’re told, felt that she had a challenging and substantial role in the film, something, she says, she’s been keen on doing for a long time. So the actress quickly gave the nod after listening to the director Dennis Jeevan Kanukolanu’s narration.

“Lavanya was excited because the film is a sports drama, a genre she hasn’t yet ventured into. Also, the film offers great scope for performance, and the fact that she had to learn the ropes of the sport (hockey) added to her high,” says a source aware of the development.

This is time second time Sundeep and Lavanya are sharing screen after Maayavan.
