Aisha Sharma, after being shown the door in ‘Shivam’, has signed on ‘Rogue’ and ‘Premam’ remake

Aisha Sharma, Neha Sharma’s sister, is all set to make a splash in Tollywood. The actress, who was replaced in Ram-starrer ‘Shivam’ at the eleventh hour, we’ve learnt, has green-lit two projects. While the first one – ‘Rogue’—with Puri Jagannadh has already gone on to floors in Bangkok recently, the second one will be the Telugu remake of Malayalam monstrous hit ‘Premam’.

A source close to her casting points out, “In ‘Rogue’ she will play second fiddle to Amyra Dastur who is the first leading lady. Puri roped her in after going through her portfolio. The character has a lot of spunk and it changes the course of the story.”

The source adds, “In ‘Premam’ she will essay the third love interest of Naga Chaitanya, who he successfully marries in the end. Though her running time will be limited compared to Anupama Parameshwaran and Shruti Haasan, the other leading ladies, director Chandoo Mondeti has given her role a glamorous spin. She will join the sets in February.”
