After her brief stint in Sandalwood,
Nikesha Patel moved to Chennai to finish her Kollywood projects. However, the actress is back to Kannada films with the remake of the Telugu film Missamma. R Raghuraj will most likely direct the film, which is tentatively titled Namaste Madam.
The project, which has Srinagara Kitty in the lead, will see Nikesha playing his wife.
"Priya Mani will play the role of his boss (which was essayed by
Bhumika Chawla in the Telugu film)," says a source from the team.
The film, which went on the floor yesterday, is said to be a complete family entertainer. "The movie is about the changing nature of local culture and familial relationships and stresses these aspects," adds the source. The film will also have Doddanna and Sadhu Kokila in significant roles.
