CE had reported on Nikhil Kumar’s next with Harsha, which has now been confirmed, and is going to be a commercial entertainer and family drama. An official announcement about it will soon be made by the producers.

Meanwhile, the makers are finalising the details and have roped in senior actor Sarath Kumar, who will play Nikhil’s father in this yet-to-be titled film.

On the heroine front, in all likelihood, Ria Nalvade will be brought in. The model-turned-actress was initially chosen for Nikhil’s other project, which could not take off, for reasons unknown. So when they were on the lookout for a heroine, Ria Nalvade was an obvious choice.

However, Harsha wants to do a look test with the debutante before she officially comes on board. If all falls in place, the actress will be making her tinsel town debut with Nikhil for Harsha’s project.
