After the runaway success of romantic comedy "Pellicho opulu", actress Ritu Varma has been roped in as the leading lady opposite actor Adivi Sesh in upcoming Telugu spy thriller "Goodachari".
"Ritu has been signed on and has already been paid the advance. The makers fell in love with her performance in 'Pellichoopulu', and felt she'd be perfect for the leading role in their film. Principal shooting will start from October or November," a source from the film's unit told IANS.
To be helmed by director duo Rahul Pakala and Shashikiran, the film is tipped to be an out-and-out spy thriller.
"It will be a bonafide spy thriller. The final draft of the script is not yet locked and the makers are busy finalising the rest of the cast," the source said.
The film will be produced by Abhishek Pictures.
