Veteran actress Nadiya, last seen on screen in Telugu romantic-drama "A?Aa" has been roped in to play the leading lady in actor Dhanush's upcoming Tamil directorial debut "Power Paandi", a reliable source said.
"Nadiya has been finalized as the female lead. She will be paired with actor Rajkiran, and they will be seen as a couple. She will join the sets later this month," the source from the film's unit told IANS.
Tipped to be a road drama featuring a few elderly characters, the film's first look poster revealed several actors dressed as bikers.
The film, which will be written and produced by Dhanush, also stars Prasanna and Chaya Singh in supporting roles.
Sean Roldan is composing the tunes, while R. Velraj will crank the camera.
