Soundarya, the charming daughter of Dr. Jayamala, is paired with Puneet Rajkumar in Lagori. She has just returned from Mumbai after doing a crash course in acting from the prestigious Kishore Namith Kapoor institute and is ready to make a mark of her own.

Soundarya with right attitude, talent and physique has all the quality to become Kannada's top heroine. Moreover, her great lineage gives her an unparalleled advantage over her opponents. The simple fact that she is being cast as Puneet Rajkumar's heroine shows the trust the industry has in this lovely girl.

Dr. Jayamala broke the news of her daughter's entry into Sandalwood during the stone laying ceremony of the Dr. Rajkumar Foundation recently. The production house that Dr. Jayamala owns is named after her daughter. Soundarya has been considering acting for a while and several producers had approached mother and daughter who were waiting for the right banner, film and hero.

Lagori is being directed by Yograj Bhatt of Mungaru Male and Gaalipata fame.
