Actor Tejasswi Prakash, who has charmed her way into the hearts of audiences with her TV shows, might soon be seen on the big screen.

An insider reveals that set to mark her Bollywood debut, Prakash has auditioned for the sequel to director Raaj Shaandilyaa’s Dream Girl (2019). Actor Ayushmann Khurrana, who starred in the first part, will play the lead role in the sequel, too.

“Tejasswi was offered the next instalment of (producer) Ekta Kapoor’s Ragini MMS. But, she wasn’t keen on doing that, given its contentious genre. She is currently in talks for Dream Girl 2. She has auditioned for it and the makers are yet to put a pin on it,” a source reveals.

From what we have gathered, the actor tested for the female lead’s part, and if selected, she will be seen romancing Khurrana on screen. The project goes on the floors in August. “Initially, it was supposed to go on floors in June. But since the movie is being shot in north India, it gets messy during monsoon. But the pre-production will begin in June,” the insider reveals.

We tried reaching out to her, but Prakash remained unavailable for a comment. Raaj Shaandilyaa, on the other hand, maintained a “no comments” stance.
