While it was announced that Priya Bhavani Shankar is playing
Jayam Ravi’s pair in the actor’s film with his Bhooloham director N Kalyanakrishnan, we hear that there will also be one more female lead in this project, which is referred to as #JR28.
A source tells us, “The team has roped in Karuppan actress
Tanya Ravichandran to play the other female lead’s role. Tanya was brought on board just a couple of weeks ago, and she has also wrapped up shooting for her portions.”
According to our source, while Priya Bhavani Shankar will be mainly seen in the first half of the film, Tanya’s character appears in the second half.
“But this is not for a small flashback or anything. It will be equally significant as Priya’s,” adds the source.
The team has been shooting in and around Tuticorin, and we hear the film, which went on floors in September 2021, is in its last leg of shoot. Like Tanya, Priya, too, the source informs, has completed shooting for the talkie portions, though she will be shooting for a song with Jayam Ravi soon.
