Mussanje Mahesh is working on a realistic movie subject, for which he is considering bringing in four heroines from the film families. Along with Meghana, another actress the director has considered is Nakshatra, daughter of Sumithra. Meanwhile, he is in talks with filmmaker Vijayalakshmi, and is likely to rope in one of  her three daughters for the film along with Sudha Belawadi’s daughter, Samyuktha Hornad and Aditya’s sister Rishika Singh for the project.

“I am also in talks with Bhavana Rao and if given a choice, I want to bring in Sruthi Hariharan too. My first preference is to go with star kids, but if I don’t get their dates, I want to go with the next line up,” he says.

Meanwhile, Mahesh wants to bring in Ragini Dwivedi and Aditya to play important roles. But, he is yet to approach them. “The film is based on a real life incident that took place in a college. So, roping in artistes has been a task. However, I have to abide by time restrictions as the project has to go on floors this month. I hope to have everything ready by October end,” he says.
