Sayyeshaa Saigal signs her debut Kannada film, will star opposite Puneeth Rajkumar in 'Yuva Rathnaa'

The talented young lass Sayyeshaa Saigal has confirmed signing her first Kannada film opposite Sandalwood Superstar Puneeth Rajkumar. Sayyeshaa made her acting debut in Bollywood with Ajay Devgn's Shivaay after her Telugu cinema film opposite Akhil Akkineni titled Akhil. 

However, it was her Kollywood stint which helped her bag more projects. After starring opposite Jayam Ravi in Vanamagan, Sayyeshaa signed Karthi's Kadaikutty Singam directed by Pandiraj, marking her first rural drama. The film went on to become a massive blockbuster at the ticket window and set the cash registers ringing for four to five straight weeks. In fact, Kadaikutty Singam is Karthi's highest-grossing film in his career and scored more footfalls than Superstar Rajinikanth's Kaala directed by Pa Ranjith.
