Mangaluru: Zaid Khan, son of politician Zameer Ahmed is all set to debut in Sandalwood and now it has been revealed by the film team that Sonal Monteiro will be the female lead. The film will be directed by Jayathirtha and has been titled as ‘Banaras’.
Shooting for the film is scheduled to begin from August-end at Varanasi. The filmmakers are planning to start the shooting with a simple pooja, organised by the line producer, YB Reddy. The production house plans to have a big launch of the film. It is a pure love story.
The music of Banaras will be scored by Ajaneesh B Lokanath while Advaitha Gurumurthy will handle the camera. Zaid has been trained at Anupam Kher’s acting school, and though he had the opportunity to be launched in Bollywood, he preferred to start his career in the Kannada film industry.
