Pawan Kalyan not the Bheemla Nayak?

Power Star Pawan Kalyan's recent release Bheemla Nayak is going great guns at the box office. The film is showing its power attracting all sections of people. In the midst of all this, it is coming out that Pawan Kalyan was not the original choice for Bheemla Nayak. Inside talk is the makers first contacted Natasimha Balakrishna for the lead role.

But for some reason Balakrishna rejected the film. Producer Naga Vamsi who loved the film asked Trivikram Srinivas to watch the film. They first decied to rope in Balakrishna and tried to convince him meeting him twice. However Balakrishna refused it. Later Trivikram Srinivas met Pawan Kalyan who at once gave the green signal.

Later the makers planned to rope in Raviteja for the other role. However finally they zeroed in on Rana and thus Pawan and Rana powered Bheemla Nayak to new heights. Wonder how it would have been had Balakrishna turned Bheemla Nayak.
