Allu Arjun, Nivetha turn siblings

Director Trivikram Srinivas's next, a romantic family entertainer, will see actor Nivetha Pethuraj essaying a key role.

A well-placed source from the production team informed Cinema Express that the Mental Madhilo actor, who has already begun shooting for her portions, is playing Allu Arjun's sister in the film commonly referred to as AA19.

"Nivetha was impressed with Trivikram's style of narration and agreed to take up this supporting role. She plays a bubbly character, who falls in love with Sushanth. It's an important role in the film, one that travels alongside the protagonist," informs a source.

Produced jointly by Allu Aravind and S Radha Krishna, the yet-to-be-titled film's shooting is currently underway in Hyderabad.

Nivetha, who was last seen in Brochevarevarura, has also agreed to star in the Telugu remake of the Tamil suspense-thriller Thadam, opposite Ram Pothineni.
