Dhruva Sarja-AP Arjun’s next Martin, which was launched on August 15, is currently on floors. And according to the latest update, Vaibhavi Shandilya has been signed on as the female lead. The actor, who has made her mark in Marathi, Telugu, and Tamil marked her Sandalwood debut with Raj Vishnu. She is part of Yogaraj Bhat’s Gaalipata 2, and Martin will be her third film in Kannada.
