Amala Paul pairs up with Jagapathi Babu for the Telugu remake of Lust Stories

The much-talked-about Telugu version of Lust Stories, produced by Ronnie Screwvala, has finally begun, and actress Amala Paul has been roped in as the leading lady in the first episode of the anthology.

Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar described actress Amala Paul as “bold, beautiful and badass” while commenting on her nude act in the Tamil film Aadai. It seemed like director Nandini Reddy took a cue from those remarks and handpicked Amala as the leading lady for the first of the four episodes of the anthology, which she’ll direct. 

Sources believe that when the director approached the actress for the part, Amala was equally excited about the part. The first episode also features Jagapathi Babu in a key role.

The remaining three episodes in the four-episode anthology will be directed by Sandeep Vanga, Tharun Bhascker and Sankalp Reddy. These are in their scripting stage and will begin shooting soon.
