Actress
Ashika
Ranganath
has
joined
the
cast
of
Sri
Murali’s
upcoming
film
Madagaja.
The
cast
and
crew
will
soon
be
heading
to
Varanasi
for
their
first
shoot
schedule
from
February
20.
A
poster
featuring
the
actress
was
recently
revealed
by
the
makers
on
Valentine’s
Day.
The
highly
anticipated
movie
is
set
to
star
two
other
actresses
namely
Samantha
and
Shanvi
Srivastava.
Director
Mahesh
Kumar,
in
a
recent
interview
with
TOI,
revealed,
“The
character
is
that
of
an
educated
girl
who
has
a
keen
interest
in
farming
and
agriculture.
The
role
required
an
actress
who
would
not
fuss
about
getting
tanned
through
the
making
of
this
film
as
that
is
required
for
her
to
get
into
the
skin
of
the
character.
Ashika
agreed,
and
she
therefore,
will
be
seen
in
a
refreshingly
new
avatar
through
this
film.”
Ashika
too
shared
her
excitement
about
being
a
part
of
the
Sandalwood
biggie.
She
said,
"The
fact
that
I
was
picked
among
quite
a
few
heroines,
and
the
director’s
wish
to
experiment
with
that
cult
character
of
a
village
belle,
brought
in
a
whole
lot
of
excitement
for
me.
Of
course,
add
to
it
the
star
value
that
Sriimurali
holds,
a
good
production
house
like
Umapathy
Films,
a
director
who
has
had
a
successful
debut
and
a
technically
strong
team
--
all
in
one
project
-and
I
feel
thrilled.”
The
actress
then
went
on
to
add,
“The
best
part
is
that
I
get
to
play
a
strong
role
in
a
star’s
film,
which
is
usually
not
the
case.
The
look
and
makeover
will
give
a
fresh
take
to
the
character,
as
well
as
my
performance.”

The
music
of
the
mass
entertainer
will
be

Madagaja
is
also
set

Saikumar,
Ravi
Shankar
and
Ayyappa
Sharma
in
pivotal
roles.
The
cinematography
will
be
