Priya Anand goes to Bollywood

Vaamanan, Leader and 180 fame Priya Anand is making her Bollywood debut with Abhishek Bachchan's new film to be directed by Balki, who delivered the back-to-back hits Cheeni Kum and Paa with Amitabh Bachchan, reports said.

This yet-to-be-titled film will be shot completely in the US. Since Priya is from the US and has studied there, the character could be based on a girl with a similar profile, it is heard.

"Priya has been approached to star in director Balki's next. She will be leaving to New York with the unit by the end of this month. There's enough meat to her character, which made Priya jump at the offer," a source said.
