On the occasion of actress Akshara Gowda's birthday on Wednesday, the makers of director Prasanna Kumar Kota's 'Hai Lesso' disclosed that the actress plays a character called Vaadi Kanthamma in their film and also released her character's first look poster.
Taking to his X timeline, producer Siva Cherry shared the first look poster of the actress and wrote, "In a world ruled by men, she rules the game. Team #HaiLesso wishes the elegantly fierce #AksharaGowda a very Happy Birthday. Get ready to meet her as the fearless ‘VADDI KANTHAMMA’ on the big screens soon."
Sudheer Anand, popularly known as Sudigali Sudheer, plays the lead in the film, which has been produced by Siva Cherry and Ravikiran under the banner Vajra Varahi Cinemas. While the film marks the production house's debut into production, it happens to be Sudheer Anand's fifth film as a hero.
Set against a rural backdrop, the film will see Sivaji, who impressed with his intense performance in the film 'Court', playing the villain.
