After the success of the Bollywood film Vicky Donor, actress Yami Gautham has bagged the female lead role opposite Allu Sirish in the bilingual film Gauravam. Yami Gautham's performance received critical acclaim in Ravi Babu's "Nuvvila", and latest reports say that the actress also impressed the makers on the sets of "Gauravam".

Reports say that Yami Gautham, although not well versed with Tamil and Telugu, decided to learn the language for the bilingual film. The makers initially thought to shift dates to facilitate Yaami with more time to hone her language but the actress took it as a challenge to improve her Telugu and Tamil simultaneously.

A source from set reveals "Although Yami is not fluent in any of the South languages; it didn't hinder Yaami's performance. The actress decided to work with the unit on her dialogues till she got them right and eventually impressed everyone".

With newer and younger faces popping up in Tollywood and Kollywood in every other film, the competition is getting hotter. So if Yami Gautham can pick up the language pretty quickly, then she's sure to give the Southern girls a run for their money.
