Tamannaah Bhatia will essay the role of a Bollywood actress in her Malayalam debut film Bandra.
The movie is reportedly based on a true incident where an actress was stalked and her beauty parlour was attacked by an underworld Don’s gang, said a little birdie close to the actor.
While this forms Bandra’s premise, the story is also inspired by the romance between Mumbai-based mafia leader Haji Mastan and Indian actor Madhubala, revealed the source.
The makers released the first-look poster of the film on 21 December, Tamannaah’s birthday.
Bandra marks actor Dilip’s 142nd film. Dino Morea, Punjabi actor Darasingh Khuranna and Sarath Kumar are also part of the cast.
The movie is directed by Arun Gopi and produced under the banner of Ajith Vinayaka Films. Anbu-Arivu, Mafia Sasi and Phoenix Prabhu have been roped in to choreograph the action scenes.
