Simran to play opposite Krishna Bhagawan

Almost all the comedians in the Telugu film industry were turning heroes these days. It was Brahmanandam some time go, later it was the turn of Ali, next Venumadhav and then Sunil.

Now it is Krishna Bhagawan who is appearing on the screen as hero. Kuchipudi Venkat, who made his debut as director through 'Modati Cinema' is directing the movie and 'John Appa Rao 40 Plus' is the title confirmed for the flick.

Earlier, the film unit tried to rope in Bollywood beauty Mandira Bedi as heroine. However, due to some unavoidable circumstances, Simran replaced her.

It is well aware that Simran had started her second innings in the film industry after her marriage with 'Okka Magaadu'. After that this is her next film in Telugu.

Besides these, Simran is also playing in a Malayalam movie. The Krishna Bhagawan starrer would go for regular shoot in the US in August.

However, the film would be formally launched here very soon.
