While actors from the South like Ileana D'cruz, Kajal Agarwal and Tamannaah Bhatia are eyeing the Bollywood arena, B-Town babe Sonakshi Sinha is taking a step towards a different direction.

It is heard that the 'Dabangg' superstar is all set to make her debut in Tollywood as she has signed a project opposite Mahesh Babu. The film is titled 'Shivam' and it will be directed by the famous filmmaker Radhakrishna Jagarlamudi.

After starring in films like 'Dabangg' and its sequel, 'Rowdy Rathore', 'Son of Sardaar' and many more, Sonakshi has already proved her mettle in the North. So this is a great opportunity to start a career in the South that too with the 'King of Tollywood' Mahesh Babu.
