In all likelihood, Dheeren Rajkumar’s debut project, directed by Anil Kumar, will go on floors in January. And going by the latest buzz, the makers, who are in the process of finalising the heroine, have approached Manvitha Kamath (previously known as Manvitha Harish). Incidentally, Daari Tappida Maga bears the same name as the 1975 film which starred Dheeren's grandfather. 

Made under Jayanna Combines, the makers were particular to rope in a Kannada heroine for the film, and among the actors shortlisted, they felt that Manvitha would fit the bill best. Our sources say that a few rounds of discussions have taken place, and now it is only a matter of time before she signs on the dotted line.

After making her debut in Kendasampige, Manvitha also created ripples with her role in the Shivarajkumar-starrer Tagaru. She is currently shooting for director Nagathihalli Chandrashekar’s yet-to-be titled project. Meanwhile, the actor is also getting ready for her debut Marathi film, directed by Nandita Yadav, which will see her paired opposite Sumukh.
