Rangitaranga fame Avantika Shetty has reportedly bagged a role opposite Upendra in upcoming film Kalpana 2, which is a remake of Tamil blockbuster film Kanchana 2. Avantika will be seen playing the role that Tapsee portrayed in the original. To be helmed by R. Anantha Raju, the film will go on floors on November 18.
The director was quoted as saying, “Rangitaranga, which saw great success, had good artistes and the young talent’s work was appreciated. Since, we were also looking for somebody on the same lines, we chose Avantika. Secondly, though she is settled in Mumbai, she is a Mangalorean and knows Kannada, which is an advantage for our film. She will share good screen space along with Priyamani”.
When Avantika was asked about the project, she said, “They told me about the remake and that I was playing Tapsee’s role in the Kannada version. When I watched the character, I felt it was very good mainly because she is doing her bit and it is an independent character. So when you play a similar role in Kannada, you can put in your nuances. In this case, I didn’t feel the requirement of reading the script”.
