Andrea is Vishal's 'villi'

Andrea Jeremiah has begun shooting for Vishal starrer Thupparivalan directed by Mysskin in which she will be seen in a negative role for the first time.

The shooting is progressing at a brisk pace and the film is expected to hit the screens for the summer holidays.

The ensemble cast includes Vishal, Prasanna, Vinay Rai and Anu Emmanuel with K.Bhagyaraj playing a rare negative role.

"Andrea essays a villain role — the character will be something new for her as well as the audience. Veteran director Bhagyaraj, too, plays a character with shades of grey in the film," sources said.

It is to be noted that Akshara Haasan has been replaced by Andrea Jeremiah due to date issues.

Produced by Vishal Film Factory, the film has musical score by Arrol Corelli.
