Viewers
may recall that the popular and lucky
Telugu star Ileana was booked to feature
as Surya’s heroine in Sarvam,
which is to be produced by Gnanavel
Raja and directed by Vishnuvardhan.
The movie is expected to hit the floor
after the return of Surya and Jo from
their honeymoon in Europe. Initially
when the star cast of the film was
announced, Ileana was the lady lead
in the movie. But as per the latest
news, she has been replaced with Anushka
who is once again a Telugu product.
The
reason for Ileana’s exit is
attributed to the whopping sum of
Rs 50 lakhs that she demanded. This
is a considerable portion in the budget
of a film. Though Ileana is a well-established
actress in Tollywood, she is a new
entrant as far as Tamil industry is
concerned. The Tamil movie KD where
she is paired with Ravi Krishna is
yet to hit the screen. Hence her demand
is not justified enough and the producer
has gone ahead in replacing her with
Anushka.
Anushka
too has good credentials to open her innings
in Tamil. She appears in an item number
in Chiranjeevi’s Stalin and is loaded
with all the qualities that are expected
from a heroine. Good luck Anushka!!!
