Sai Pallavi to make her Tamil debut with AL Vijay movie

Sai Pallavi, who became an overnight sensation in the south Indian film industry with Premam, will be making her Tamil debut with director AL Vijay’s next. We had earlier reported about director Vijay remaking Malayalam blockbuster movie Charlie in Tamil with Madhavan in the lead. Sai Pallavi was roped in to reprise Parvathy’s role from the original. But, we now hear that the two will be teaming for another fresh movie before working on the remake of Charlie.

In a recent interview to the Times of India, Vijay is quoted saying, “Yes, I am doing a film with Sai, but can’t speak about it yet. I should have more details about it in place in another week’s time.”

Sai Pallavi is currently busy acting in her Telugu debut movie Fidha. The movie is directed by acclaimed filmmaker Shekhar Kammula and stars Varun Tej as the hero.

The actress, who is of Tamil origin, enjoys a huge fan following even before making her debut in Kollywood. She was initially cast for Mani Ratnam’s Kaatru Veliyidai but was later replaced by Bollywood actress Aditi Rao Hydari. She was also officially signed to play the female lead in Vikram’s next with director Vijay Chander of Vaalu fame. But the actress opted out of the project due to some unknown reasons.
