Former 'Indian Idol' winner turns to acting

Singer Sreeram Chandra, winner of the fifth season of music reality show "Indian Idol", is all set to debut as a hero in an upcoming Telugu film titled "Prema Geema Jantha Nai".

It will be directed by debutant Subbu.

"I've been hearing many stories in the recent past but nothing inspired me as much as this film. When I heard the story I knew this film will definitely leave an impact and therefore, I signed it," Sreeram told IANS.

The 26-year-old has crooned several songs in Telugu and few in Hindi over the years.

"Prema Geema Jantha Nai' will be produced by Dadi Balabhaskar and Maddala Bhaskar, and is slated to go on floors by October end.
