Bangalore lass Akshara Gowda, who made her Bollywood debut with Chitkabrey and made headlines last year for her alleged link-up with cricketer Yuvraj Singh, has reportedly bagged a Telugu film, starring superstar Mahesh Babu in the lead.
 
According to reports, Akshara Gowda has been roped in to play one of the female leads in Mahesh Babu's next film to be directed by Sukumar. It is said that Kingfisher model Angela Jonsson was considered for this role but finally, the Bangalore beauty bagged the role. Earlier, the makers offered the same role to Tamannaah, but she opted out of the film, citing date issue.
 
"Akshara is thrilled about the film as she has been waiting for the right opportunity to make her Tollywood debut," a source said, adding that the film is a thriller, shooting for which will commence in March.
