Actor-turned-filmmaker Deepak Tijori has finally locked a fresh face, a girl named Alisha, for his new directorial “Dare You”.

The suspense thriller is being co-produced by Denis Selarka and Mehul Simaria under their banner, Blueberry Films.

Alisha has signed a three-film deal with Blueberry Films. “Dare You” will be launched Sep 18 with its poster and teaser in Mumbai.

Since they were very particular about the main protagonist, they wanted a fresh beautiful face and someone very talented. Alisha fitted the bill perfectly, said a source.
