Ahaana Krishna bags Nivin Pauly's Althaf film

It had been announced earlier that Nivin Pauly will be playing the lead in Premam actor Althaf's directorial debut. The latest we got to know is that Ahaana Krishna, daughter of actor Krishnakumar, will be the heroine of the film. Although Ahaana tells us that she is not allowed to reveal anything about the movie at this point, she confirms that she is indeed doing the project.'I was waiting for a good second project when this offer came up. My graduation course got over in April and so the timing was just right,' says Ahaana, whose debut was Rajeev Ravi's Njan Steve Lopez. 'Talks had been going on for this movie for months. There was a casting call as well. But things got pushed owing to Nivin's date clashes and other issues, and fortunately for me, everything fell into place.'
'I don't know Nivin Pauly well, but recently met him for a workshop for the movie. Feels great to get such a good project after Njan Steve Lopez,' she adds.
Earlier, the upcoming movie was in the news as it was announced that actor Lal will be playing Nivin's father in the film. Shoot for the movie will be held in Kochi and Thrissur, from the third week of this month onwards.
