Hebah Patel, who was last seen in 24 Kisses, has been signed to play a crucial role in director Vijay Kumar Konda's upcoming romcom Orey Bujjiga. She has joined today in Hyderabad, the makers announced in a statement.

The film will be her fourth outing with Raj Tharun after Kumari 21F, Eedo Rakam Aado Rakam and Andhhagadu. 

24 Kisses, which stars Malavika Nair as the other female lead, also marks the return of Vani Viswanath to Telugu cinema. The film's shooting is progressing at a rapid pace and the makers have already wrapped up two schedules in Hyderabad.

Produced by KK Radhamohan, the film, also starring Posani Krishna Murali, Sapthagiri, Annapurna and Naresh VK, is slated for release next summer.

Apart from this film, Hebah Patel will also be seen playing an important role in the Nithiin and Rashmika Mandanna-starrer Bheeshma.
