Kavya Thapar, who is set to make her debut in Telugu opposite Rahul Vijay, has auditioned for a role in Varun Tej’s space adventure. To be directed by Sankalp Reddy, the film has Aditi Rao Hydari as the female lead.

“Kavya gave a look test for the role and Sankalp is convinced that she would fit the bill perfectly as the second lead opposite Varun. Even though the role has a limited screen time, it will create a lasting impact in the tale,” says a source. “Sankalp is taking time to finalise the actor for this role. He is also in negotiations with several others including a young female actor, who has been struggling with flops. He will be finalising one of them in a few days,” adds the source from the production team.

To be presented by Krish, and produced jointly by Y Rajeev Reddy and Jagarlamudi Sai Babu, the film’s principal shooting will commence in the last week of April in Georgia.
