After a 17-year hiatus, Nandita Swetha comes back to Kannada cinema

After a 17-year hiatus, actress Nandita Swetha is set to make her return to Kannada cinema in the upcoming revenge drama, Benny. Directed by Shreelesh S Nair, the film features Swetha in the titular role. Expressing his enthusiasm for the project, filmmaker Ramenahalli Jagannatha said, “We aimed to create a film driven by a powerful female lead. While Kannada cinema is increasingly showcasing prominent female roles, we’re elevating this with this father-daughter story, which includes intense action sequences.” Elaborating on Nandita casting, Jagannatha said, “We conducted a test shoot with Nandita and immediately felt she was the perfect fit for this character. The film is expected to feature an ensemble cast from neighbouring film industries.”
