Aishwarya Rajesh, who is set to make her Telugu debut opposite Vijay Deverakonda in an untitled romcom, has already started shooting for her second film in the language. Billed to be a family drama set across Rajahmundry and Hyderabad, the film, co-starring Uday Shankar, features the Kakka Muttai actor as a professional wrestler. 

"It will be a family entertainer with wrestling as the backdrop. Aishwarya plays a village character, who belongs to a family of professional wrestlers, in the film.  She is very tomboyish and loves the thrills of wrestling. The story is all about how she fulfils the dream of her family by winning a gold medal at an international wrestling tournament," reveals a source. 

Produced by Adhiroh Creative Signs, the yet-to-be-titled film is being directed by NV Nirmal Kumar. Apart from Aishwarya and Uday, the film also stars Pradeep Rawat as Aishwarya’s father and Sanjay Swaroop as Uday’s father. The makers have recently wrapped up filming the interval block at Alampur Jogulamba Temple and the next schedule will commence soon. 

This will be Aishwarya's second sports film after last year's Kanaa, in which she played a cricketer.
