If you thought Mumait Khan was the best choice to just sizzle in item numbers in films, you might want to rethink that.

The oomph girl, who has been part of many films, from Vijay’s 'Pokkiri' to Vikram’s forthcoming 'Kanthaswamy', is all set to be launched as a heroine in a thriller, 'Pournami Naagam'.

The movie, a thriller as its name suggests, is based on the changes both physical and geographical, which happen on a full moon day. Directed by Yaar Kannan, the film has music by SA Rajkumar.
 
Mumaith Khan may be the girl gone wild now, it may be recalled that she played an important action role in her Telugu film, 'Myssiamma IPS' which was later dubbed and released in Tamil as ‘Gayatri IPS’.
