After making her debut in the comedy drama 'Jawaani Jaanemaan', Alaya F has been roped in by Ekta Kapoor to headline the Hindi remake of Kannada hit thriller, U-Turn. The film is an edge-of-the-seat thriller starring Alaya in the lead and is directed by debutante director Arif Khan. On Monday, Ekta shared the first look announcement of the film on her handle on social media. U-Turn will be produced by Cult Movies, which is the new division under Shobha Kapoor and Balaji Telefilms. Set against an urban backdrop, the film goes on-floors tomorrow.
