Puri roped in Adah Sharma for Heart Attack
Bollywood actress Adah Sharma, who made an impressive debut in Vikram Bhatt's horror-thriller 1920, has reportedly been roped in opposite Nitin Reddy in filmmaker Puri Jagannadh's upcoming Telugu romantic-drama Heart Attack.
'Adah Sharma has been cast opposite Nitin in the film. Puri was impressed with her performance in 1920 and decided to cast her. Many actresses were considered for this role, including some big names in Telugu industry, but Adah was finally signed,' a source close to director Puri said.
Not long ago, it was reported that Catherine Tresa, who featured in Telugu films Chamak Challo and Iddarammayilatho, was cast opposite Nitin in the film. Does this mean Adah has replaced Catherine?
'We are not sure about that. Puri did consider Catherine but we don't have much clarity on it. He (Puri) would be the right person to confirm the same,' added the source.
Puri hopes to resurrect his sagging career with Heart Attack after suffering lukewarm response with films such as Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu and Iddarammayilatho. Nitin, who is basking in the success of back-to-back blockbusters with Ishq and Gunde Jaari Gallanthayyinde, hopes to score a hat-trick with this film.
