Hansika to play runaway bride in her next

Directed Rajasekar is back with Uyire Uyire, “a fun-filled romance” which stars yesteryear actress Jaya Prada’s son Siddhu, and Hansika in the lead. It’s a remake of the 2012 Telugu film Ishq, directed by Vikram Kumar.

“I was so glad that Jaya Prada madam, who has done close to 300 films and has seen many directors, chose me to direct her son’s debut,” says the director.

The movie revolves around a particular concept where falling in love is not wrong, but eloping is. “It might be thrilling, but ultimately, not satisfying to the lovers. A proper wedding with parents, relatives and friends celebrating their love is what will symbolize their romance,” he explains.

Hansikais playing a lead because the role demanded someone who can be cute and mischievous like Nadiya, Revathy or Jyotika. “Hansika has a bubbly screen presence like them. She will be there throughout the film,” he adds.
