The Wink Girl, Priya Prakash To Star Against Ranveer Singh

Fame travels through unexpected lanes. An unknown face until recently, Internet sensation Priya Prakash Varrier has now caught Bollywood’s fancy!

Apparently, Karan Johar is keen to sign the winking beauty as the female lead opposite Ranveer Singh in Rohit Shetty’s Simmba, where Ranveer plays a cop.

A source says, “The girl’s role in the film is not elaborate. But Priya has become an overnight craze. Bollywood is interested in her, and who better to consolidate Priya’s virtual supremacy in the arena of cinema than Karan Johar?”

Seemingly, the 18-year-old actress is also a big fan of Ranveer. Notably, Rohit is known to bring South India’s female stars to his Hindi films. In the past, Kajal Aggarwal was brought in for Singham opposite Ajay Devgn and Anushka Shetty was the first choice for Singham 2 (at the end, Kareena Kapoor was finalised).
