Dulquer Salmaan's King of Kotha is one of the much-anticipated films in Malayalam. We earlier reported that Aishwarya Lekshmi, Nyla Usha and Gokul Suresh are part of the film's cast and the latest speculation is that actor Ritika Singh, last seen in Oh My Kadavule, has been roped in for a special dance number in King of Kotha. 

Earlier, the reports suggested that makers were in talks with Samantha for a special performance. However, it looks like the actor backed out due to health concerns and Ritika is said to have replaced her.  Photos of Ritika from the sets of King of Kotha are doing rounds on social media. However, no official announcement regarding the same has been made yet. 

Directed by debutant Abhilash Joshiy, the film is produced by Wayfarer Films and Zee Studios. King of Kotha is billed as a gangster film. The first schedule of the shoot commenced in Karaikudi, Tamil Nadu in September. The makers noted that the film will be released in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and Kannada. On the other hand, Ritika has a handful of projects including Boxer, Pichaikkaran 2, Vanangamudi and Kolai.
