Actress Melissa Raju Thomas bagged an interesting role in Taish. Directed by Bejoy Nambiar, Melissa will share screen space with power house performers like Pulkit Samrat, Jim Sarbh and Harshvardhan Rane.

The svelte actor is making her debut with the much talked about Moothon- a bilingual feature film helmed by Geetu Mohandas (who's earlier film Liar's Dice was nominated at the Oscars) and Co- produced by Anurag Kashyap. In Moothon Melissa will be seen opposite Nivin Pauly, a name to reckon with in the Malayalam film industry.

Melissa has been receiving amazing feedback for her performance in Moothon after it was screened at MAMI and the Toronto Film Festival and is gearing up for her next outing, Taish.

Speaking about her projects, Melissa said, "It all still feels new and each day I feel I'm starting afresh. Moothon is due for its theatrical release. And I'm looking forward to working with Bejoy. He thinks out of the box and his style of storytelling is also very unique. I'm thrilled to be a part of his project."
