Anushka to act in a 3D film

Mollywood director Vinayan is trying to rope in actor Anushka for his latest flick. If all goes well, she will be playing a prominent role in Vinayan's Dracula 2012, which is based on the famous novel by Bram Stoker.

Confirming the news, Vinayan says, "Yes, Anushka is interested in the project and she is almost confirmed. I wanted dates in February but, she has another project during that time. So, there is confusion regarding her dates."

However, the director has decided to go ahead with the scheduled shoot in Romania. "Since Anushka doesn't have a schedule in Romania, we have decided to go ahead with the shoot."

Anushka, who's already won critical acclaim as the lead in a horror flick (for Arundhati), will be essaying the role of an MBBS student, who is the daughter of a sorcerer.

Vinayan hopes to give a different version of the film on Count Dracula. "I want to give an Indianised version to Dracula. This is a fantasy horror film in 3D," he says.
