Tollywood calling for former Miss India Neha Hinge

After making her entry into B-town last year, the beauty pageant winner is all set to debut in Telugu cinema

Filmmakers in India have always had a fixation with prestigious beauty contest winners. That trend which started way back with Aishwarya Rai and Sushmita Sen, continues even today as former Miss India winners like Rakul Preet Singh, Vanya Mishra, Simran Kaur Mundi have been welcomed with open arms by the Telugu film industry. One more name adds to that list as 2010 Miss India, Neha Hinge, has landed herself into a top Tollywood project.

Yes, that’s right! Neha Hinge, who entered Bollywood with I Love You, Soniyo with Tanuj Virwani, is all set to make her Tollywood debut. The pretty model caught the eye of filmmaker Vijayendra Prasad, who roped her in to play a pivotal role in his film. The film is said to be an sci-fi action entertainer. Talking to a leading daily, an excited Neha said, “It all happened so quickly. Last month I got a call from the director’s office asking me to come for the script narration. Apparently, Vijayendra Prasad had seen a video of mine and felt I suited the role. I landed in Hyderabad and went to the office at 8 am to meet the director. An hour later I was offered the role in this female-centric film.”

“It’s a very spunky character. I play an NRI who is a trained sharp shooter and a fighter. The film has lots of stylised action episodes. I couldn’t have asked for a better launch pad”, added Miss Hinge. It is still unclear if Neha would have a romantic interest in the film, and if so, who is gonna play it.
