Ala Ela girl lands a biggie

Newcomer Heebah Patel wouldn’t have expected her debut film Ala Ela would turn out to be a sleeper hit and land her an opportunity to work in a big project. Heebah, who was appreciated for her performance in the film, has now landed the lead role in Sukumar’s home production titled Kumari F 21. Sukumar’s assistant Surya Pratap will direct the film

At the launch of the film, the makers announced that Sheena Bajaj, a popular face on television, would be the female lead. Now, according to sources, the makers have decided to drop Sheena Bajaj from the film. In her place, they have roped in Heebah Patel of Ala Ela fame.
Apparently, it was her performance in this small film that impressed Sukumar and Surya which is why they decided to cast her in their film. The film’s shoot will start from January next year. Uyyala Jampala fame Raj Tarun will be playing the lead in the film.
