The first schedule of Vinay Rajkumar's upcoming film with director Suni was recently wrapped up. While anchor-turned-actor Swathishta Krishnan, who was part of Kamal Haasan's Vikram, has already been signed for the project, the latest is that actor Mallika Singh has been roped in to play one of the other leads.

While Swathishta plays a journalist, Mallika will play a Kashmiri girl. Known for her role in the popular Hindi serial, RadhaKrishn, which also had a dubbed version in Kannada, Mallika made her film debut with Gully Boy. This will be her first project in Kannada. 

Bankrolled by Mysuru Ramesh, an official announcement about the cast and crew of the romantic drama is expected to be out soon. 
  
Meanwhile, Vinay has completed shooting for Andondittu Kaala, directed by Keerthi, and Pepe by Sreelesh Nair, which is getting ready for release. He also has Gramayana in the pipeline.

On the other hand, Suni is also helming Gathvaibhava, which stars newcomer Dushyanth, and Ashika Ranganath.
