Vajrakaya heroine Shubra Aiyappa picks Ramana Avatara as next

Shubra Aiyappa, who made her debut in Kannada cinema with Vajrakaya (2015), is set to sign her next film after almost four years. The model-turned-heroine will be part of Ramana Avatara, which marks the directorial debut of brothers Vikas and Vinay Pampapathi. Touted to be a comic caper, the film also stars Raj B Shetty, Pranitha Subhash, Rishi and Danish Sait. 

While Shubra was to play a crucial role in John Cena, directed by Simple Suni, the film did not see the light of day. So officially, Ramana Avatara will be her second film.

The actor, who has also appeared in Telugu and Tamil films, is considered to be choosy about her roles, and it’s not a surprise that she has taken time to choose her next in Kannada.  

The makers had released the title teaser of the romcom, written by the brothers and produced by Amrej Surja, in association with Team Naati Factory, in November 2018. The music for the multi-starrer is by Judah Sandy. 

Ramana Avatara, also starring Chaitra Jagadish, will have Rishi featuring as Rama, Danish as Sunny Prasad, and Raj as Alexander. However, the character details of the two heroines, who have recently joined the crew, are yet to be revealed.
