Tisca Chopra to make Telugu debut with 'Bruce Lee'

Actress Tisca Chopra, most popular for her work in films such as "Taare Zameen Par" and "Rahasya", is making her Telugu debut with Ram Charan-starrer upcoming actioner "Bruce Lee".

"Tisca plays a rich, powerful and independent woman in the film. It was director Srinu Vaitla, who has followed Tisca's work closely, decided to cast her as he felt she was apt for the role," a source from the film's unit told IANS.

Ram Charan plays a fighter in the film and even sports a tattoo of legendary martial arts artist and actor Bruce Lee.

The film, which is slated for theatrical release on October 16, also stars Rakul Preet Singh, Arun Vijay and Sampath Raj among other in important roles.

"Bruce Lee", however, is not Tisca's first southern outing as she has already worked in two Malayalam films.
