Beauty queen Vanya Mishra to make southern debut

Former Miss India Vanya Mishra will make her cinematic debut in upcoming, yet-to-be-titled Tamil-Telugu romantic-drama to be helmed by veteran director Suresh Krissna.

"We have roped in Vanya for the project. I met her recently for a photoshoot and realised that she has tremendous energy and attitude required for this industry. I'm sure she will go a long way in filmdom," Krissna told IANS.

The bilingual, which also features Prince Cecil in the lead, is expected to go on floors soon.

Krissna, known for films like "Satya", "Baasha" and "Annamalai", turns producer with this bilingual.

"I will produce this film under my home banner Suresh Krissna Productions. I would also like to produce films of other directors," he added.

The hunt for the rest of the cast is on.
