Priya, who rose to fame with her portrayal of Girija in the hit film Bheema, is set to return to the big screen as a tough police officer in the upcoming movie Custody. Directed by JJ Srinivasa and produced by Nagesh Kumar US, Custody explores the growing influence of mobile phones and the rise of cybercrime, a subject that touches all age groups.
Talking about the film, producer Nagesh Kumar shared, "This is my fifth production, and when JJ Srinivasa narrated the story, Priya immediately came to mind for the lead role. I’m thrilled to have her on board." Director Srinivasa added, "While there have been many films on cybercrime, Custody brings a fresh narrative that highlights the deep influence of technology on our lives."
Priya expressed her excitement about the role: "I’m grateful for the love my character Girija received in Bheema. In Custody, I play Durgaparameshwari, a strict police officer. The film’s message is vital, and I was drawn to the project because of the support I've received from Nagesh Kumar throughout my career."
The film also stars Sudhi, among others, and is nearing the completion of its shoot, with more updates expected soon.
