Well, it looks like Telugu filmmakers are looking forward towards craze and experience rather than roping in new talent. If the on-going reports are anything to go by, gorgeous bombshell
Pooja Hegde is being confirmed to reprise Lakshmi Menon’s role in the Telugu remake of Tamil super-hit ‘
Jigarthanda
’ titled ‘
Valmiki
’. So, this naturally leads to the ouster of young actress
Mirnalini Ravi
who became a sensation in Tamil Nadu with her
Tik Tok
and Dubsmash videos.
Director Harish Shankar & Co has initially announced that a new actress would be considered to play the female lead in ‘Valmiki’ as the role has a very limited screen-presence in the film. So, they have reportedly finalised ‘Super Deluxe’ actress Mirnalini Ravi as it hardly needs 15 days to wrap up her part. But, in a surprise turn of events, Pooja came on board and according to rumours; the producers are paying her an astounding sum of Rs 2 crore for the 20-minute role.
While
Varun Tej is essaying the lead role of a gangster in the remake, Tamil actor
Atharvaa
Murali will be playing one of the other central characters.
Devi Sri Prasad is composing the tunes for the project.
