South India's young superstar Prithviraj Sukumaran's debut Hindi film titled Ayya, in which he plays a Tamil painter, will have Rani Mukherjee as the heroine.

The film which will start it's shooting from next month, will star Directed by Anurag Kashyap. Anurag and his team were reportedly impressed with the actor's performances in some of his Mollywood movies and consequently offered him the lead role in the offbeat film. 

Prithviraj said, "I rejected plenty of offers from Hindi. However, I found Anurag's script so interesting that I decided that Ayya would be my first Hindi film. I'll also be dubbing for the movie in Hindi," he added.

So Prithviraj is apparently not coming to the Hindi film industry just for the glamour factor.
