Priyamvada Kant is all set to participate in the upcoming season of dating reality show, Splitsvilla, which will be hosted by Sunny Leone and Rannvijay Singha. The series will go on air in August, and the same month, the Tenali Rama actress will also kick-start her Bollywood career. According to a source, she has signed on the dotted line for Bole Chudiyan, which will be toplined by Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Tamannaah Bhatia. However, she won’t be seen opposite the Sacred Games actor. An insider close to the development tells us, “Priyamvada plays Nawazuddin’s sister. She has a meaty role, which is an integral part of the movie. She can be called the parallel lead.”

While Nawazuddin and Tamannaah will be paired romantically, the Sasural Simar Ka girl will have a love angle, too, with Kabir Duhan. The South actor is also making his Bollywood debut with the project. Interestingly, Kabir, who plays Tamannaah’s brother, is the antagonist but Priyamvada’s character will be positive.

The actress confirms the news, “I’m really excited to work on this film. It has a stellar cast and great performers. I’ve never been trained as an actor, so this feels like I’m going to an institution.” About working with Nawazuddin, Priyamvada says, “I’m an admirer of his acting. He is extremely gracious. I look forward to working with him.”
