Actress Anjala Zaveri
who is known for her sizzling chemistry with A-list actors like
Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna and Venkatesh also won many accolades for her
performances
in films. Not many of us are aware that she wasn't the first choice for
Preminchukundam Raa
that we know her for.
Released in 1997 and directed by Jayanth C Paranjee, Preminchukundam Raa was declared as one of the blockbuster hits of the year. Starring
Daggubati Venkatesh
in the lead, the film was applauded for its strong performances and memorable songs which helped the film's critical reception burn bright. Jayanth's narration is one of the highlights of the film. It has become the first Telugu movie to run 100 days in more than 50 centres, and it ran for 50 days in 57 centres.
According to a leading daily, director Jayanth C Paranjee wanted to cast Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai to play the female lead role. She had been rejected by the makers of Preminchukundam Raa as she was not so famous at that time and she already had two failures in her kitty. The role eventually went to
Anjala Zaveri who stole the hearts of the audiences with her performance as Kaveri, a factionist daughter.
