Producer KM Shashidhar's directorial debut Sugarless, starring Pruthvi Ambaar in the lead, will star Priyanka Thimmesh as the heroine. A confirmation about Priyanka coming on board was made on Thursday, when the team officially launched the film with a simple event.

Priyanka, who made her debut with Ganapa, has also worked in the Tamil and Malayalam industries. The Pataki actor is currently waiting for the release of her next, Bheema Sena Nala Maharaja, directed by Karthik Saragur. She is gearing up to join the Sugarless team from September 14, when the makers plan to go on floors.

Pruthvi Ambaar, who has a handful of projects in hand, will be juggling between the sets of Life is Beautiful and this project.  

Sugarless, penned by the first time director himself, is a story about youngsters with diabetes. It will also feature Dattanna in a pivotal role. The film, which has Anoop Seelin scoring music and cinematographer Lavith handling the camerawork, is jointly made under the banner Pushkar Films and Disha Entertainers.
