Her sensuous acts in the first and second instalments of the erotic thriller Twisted earned Nia Sharma the title of being filmmaker Vikram Bhatt’s blue-eyed girl. And even though part two of the web show will release only next month, Bhatt has already roped in the actor for a Bollywood film.

After creating acclaimed thrillers like the Raaz series and 1921, Bhatt will cast the actor in a film of the genre he loves. “Vikram has signed Nia as the female lead in the thriller,” Bhatt’s spokesperson tells mid-day, adding, “While other details of the film are still being chalked out, the venture will mark the actor and director’s first collaboration for a full length feature.”

A source close to the production reveals that the unit is still scouting for a male actor for the headlining role. “Vikram wants to give a chance to debutants so that they get a promising launch,” the source says.
