Mumbai, Nov 12: “Ziddi Dil Maane Na” fame Nirisha Basnett has recently expressed her desire to work with filmmaker S. S. Rajamouli and Korean director Jang Young Woo. When asked what kind of roles she is looking forward to playing, Nirisha shared, “As of now, I’m only interested in action-related roles.

Meanwhile, I’m also enjoying all the love and attention my character Zii is getting in Reeta Sanyal. I’m really grateful for all the good reviews.”
