Actor Mehreen Pirzada is set to make her Sandalwood debut in Shivarajkumar’s 124th film, directed by Ram Dhulipudi. The makers, who are gearing up to start the project in August, were in the process of finalising the starcast, and our sources say that the heroine of popular films like F2 and Pattas has been selected. The actor, who has liked the script, is said to have given a green signal, and an official announcement from the production end is awaited.

Mehreen, an established name in Telugu, who also acted in Tamil films, was supposed to make her Kannada debut much earlier, but the projects didn’t materialise. Mehreen is currently shooting for Anil Ravipudi’s F3 and another project helmed by Maruthi made under UV Creations.
