Actress Rakul Preet Singh, who is the new sensation in T-town, has
reportedly replaced popular South Indian actress
Samantha Ruth Prabhu in
Ram Charan Teja's next film to be directed by
Srinu Vaitla.
It was rumoured recently that the makers of Cherry's forthcoming
movie were keen on casting Samantha for the female lead in the film. The
actress was also excited to work with Ram and reportedly gave oral
consent.
But latest reports suggest that Samantha is busy with "10
Enradhukulla" and couple of other Tamil and Telugu projects. The actress
was unable to accommodate dates for this Telugu film. Both Samantha and
Charan are happy about the development and may work together later
After Samantha opted out of this untitled project, Rakul Preet Singh
seems to have been roped in. A rumour is doing rounds that the producers
have replaced Samantha due to budget constraints. Without divulging
details, a source close to the unit has confirmed her replacement.
"Samantha liked the script very much and she was all game to be part
of the project. However, things took a different due to contrasting
perceptions. Wasting no time, the makers have immediately replaced
Samantha with Rakul Preet in the project.
It should be said here that Samantha has worked with all leading
Telugu actors such as
Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh Babu, Junior NTR, Nagarjuna,
Siddhartha, Nani and Naga Chaitanya, but never with Ram Charan. When the
offer came her way, she has missed it out in the last moment.
This yet-to-be titled projected is touted to be an action comedy
entertainer. Kona Venkat and Gopi Mohan are reportedly working on the
script of the film, which has been tentatively titled "My Name is Raju".
"Kolaveri Di" fame
Anirudh Ravichandar is the music director for the
film, which is produced by DVV Danayya under the banner Universal Media.
