Foreign model in Jayanth Paranji's Narendra

Brazilian model turned actress Izabelle Leite has officially confirmed to play the female lead role in direction Jayanth C Paranji’s upcoming movie ‘Narendra.’ Her name was announced long back but she had denied the reports saying no one from Jayanth’s team approached her. The senior director has taken aback with her statement. It seems both of them have resolved their issues.

Izabelle has acted in couple of Bollywood films and has also done a minor role opposite Akhil in recently released ‘Mr Majnu’.

She now took it on her official Twitter handle and tweeted, “Since I’m back in India and had the opportunity to meet Jayanth Paranjee to discuss about his next movie, now I can announce that yes I am on board and pretty much excited to work with him. Its a great role and a challenge for me as an actress.”

Director Jayanth too tweeted acknowledging Izabelle’s tweet. “Re-setting the record straight!!!! @izabelleleite25 is part of my film #Narendra,” wrote Jayanth.

Also with this film, Indian World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) wrestler The Great Khali is going to make his debut in Telugu film industry. ‘Narendra’ is a sports drama while newcomer Nilesh Eti will be seen in the male lead role. The regular shooting of the film will begin from March 10th in Hyderabad.

Bollywood music composer Ram Sampath is also debuting in Tollywood with ‘Narendra.’ Eshaan Entertainments banner is producing the movie.
