All eyes are on Nithiin's upcoming project Yellamma. Expectations are high on the project as it is helmed by Venu Yeldandi who created a sensation with his debut film Balagam. The project is bankrolled by Dil Raju on Sri Venkateswara Creations banner.
Earlier reports came that the makers planned to cast Sai Pallavi in the powerful role. But she couldn't allocate her dates as she got busy with Bollywood film Ramayana. Then the makers planned to cast Keerthy Suresh in the role. But it is now coming out that even she couldn't allocate her dates.
A source shares "Keerthy hasn't given her nod yet and looks quite doubtful. The team is now scouting for another leading actress who is more popular and talented since it would be a costly movie,"
The source adds "They are sticking to their original plan of a ₹40 crore-plus budget because the story demands it," the source continues "The film portrays the emotional journey of a low-caste singing troupe, highlighting their struggles and dreams. The Goddess element (Yellamma) plays a crucial role in this semi-divine thriller, which is rich in human drama set against the backdrop of small-town life."
