With three of her last four films not doing well at the ticket counters, Hebah Patel is pinning high hopes on her next, ‘24 Kisses’. We hear director Ayodhya Kumar, who has bagged a national award for his maiden feature ‘Minugurulu’, has designed a beautiful part for her and the entire unit is hopeful of the actress bouncing back.

“She plays a media student who lives her in her own bubble in the film. How her path crosses with children’s filmmaker Anand (played by Adith Arun) is what the film all about. She has even lost 10 kilos for the part and her makeover is bound to take everyone by surprise,” confirmed a source close to the team, while adding that Hebah has given her everything for the project and workshops prior to going to sets helped her a great deal. “She has taken the project on a prestigious note and is confident that it will bring her back into the big league.”

‘24 Kisses’, a Hyderabad-set adult love story, is presently in post-production. The makers are planning to kick-start the promotional campaign of the film shortly.
