Director Mysskin is busy with his next film Pisasu. The female title role in his movie is being played by a model-turned-actress from Kochi called Prayaga Martin. Sources say the film’s shooting is progressing at a brisk pace in the city and that the crew has wrapped up two schedules as of now.

“Pisasu is a paranormal thriller and the director wanted a fresh face as the female protagonist. Prayaga was spotted by the crew on a jewellery ad, post which she was roped in to play the character,” says a source. Prayaga, who is currently pursuing her first-year graduation at St Teresa’s College, is also a disciple of dancer Kalamandalam Kshemavati. The film, produced by filmmaker Bala, is expected to hit screens by the end of this year.
