After a rather lacklustre debut, Luck, Shruti Hassan [ Images ] has signed another film, this time in Telugu.

The Walt Disney [ Images ] production is a fantasy film scheduled for release in January, 2011.

The untitled movie also stars Siddharth of Rang De Basanti [ Images ] fame. It is being directed by National Award winning director Prakash Rao Kovelamudi.

This fantasy adventure film is set in the fictitious land of Sangarashtra.

The story focuses on the journey of a nine-year-old girl (Hrishitha) with special healing powers and her quest to save Sangarashtra from the tyranny of an evil Queen, played by Lakshmi Manchu. 

Siddharth plays a blind swordsman who protects the little girl. Shruti plays a gypsy.
