Fomer Miss World runner up Parvathy Omanakuttan will don the female lead in Ajith's Billa 2. The team had earlier roped in Huma Qureshi for the role. But the actress withdrew from the project due to personal reasons. "Parvathy is very happy to act opposite a big star like Ajith. She was aware of the history of 'Billa' and was thrilled to sign the project.

She will join the film's unit in Goa, where some important scenes are being shot," , said close sources. Parvathy debuted into movies through bollywood flick United Six. Later she did a tamil and a malayalam movie. The project with Ajith is expected to be a big break for the model turned actress.
