Jacqueline Fernandez To Romance Pawan Kalyan In A Telugu Historical Drama

Jacqueline Fernandez is all set to add a new feather to her cap. After winning millions of hearts with her sizzling performances in several Bollywood blockbusters, the Sri Lankan beauty is now gearing up for her new inning in Tollywood. Yes, you heard that absolutely right!

Jacqueline Fernandez has been roped in to share the screen space with Telugu superstar Pawan Kalyan in his next offering. The movie will be directed by successful filmmaker Krish Jagarlamudi who last helmed the Kangana Ranaut starrer Manikarnika - The Queen Of Jhansi (2019). According to reports, the forthcoming film is a historical costume drama which will be mounted on a lavish scale. It will be for the first time when Jacqueline Fernandez stars in a period drama.

A source close to the development informs a leading publication that Jacqueline Fernandez flew down to Hyderabad to meet superstar Pawan Kalyan and director Krish Jagarlamudi. Everything, including the price, was sorted in no time at all.

Pawan Kalyan, who is returning to films after a long time, will be seen performing in a lavish song-and-dance number with Jacqueline Fernandez in a semi-classical Indian style. Reportedly, the actress won’t be mouthing her Telugu dialogues, but she is still learning the basics of the language to get her feel of it.

Jacqueline is not the first Bollywood actress to expand her horizons to South cinema. A number of actresses from Hindi cinema have made their Telugu debut successfully, the latest one being Shraddha Kapoor who paired opposite Prabhas in action entertainer Saaho (2019).

We also hear that now that superstar Pawan Kalyan has agreed to share the screen space with Jacqueline Fernandez, several other popular names from the industry, including Ram Charan Teja and Allu Arjun, are also showing an interest in the gorgeous actress. It should not come as a surprise if Fernandez goes on to announce projects with other popular Telugu actors as well.
