Vijayashanti Missed A Golden Opportunity

We cannot forget the power-packed performance of Vijayashanti in Kartavyam. Speaking about it, Paruchuri Gopala Krishna made stunning revelation.

He said, "I went to a marriage in Madras. I promised Ratham to write a story for Vijayashanti. While writing story, I was forced to stay in an ashram in Bengaluru. I completed Kartavyam story there. Frankly speaking Kartavyam story played on screen was not the story penned by me. We made changes. I and brother sat and created Meena role. After listening to the narration, shoot was begun.

During the climax, Vijayashanti expressed her displeasure. Even we felt the same. Then we thought as per her suggestion and changed the last half an hour story. After listening to the changed version, Vijayashanti shook hands with me. The climax turned out to be the highlight in the film. Kartavyam was remade in Hindi a bit late. In Bollywood, a similar film came with Rekha in the lead. Had the film been dubbed in Hindi a little earlier, Vijayashanti would have been a top star in Bollywood."

Paruchuri revealed, "She couldn't attend our '333' function. Many came respecting us as writers. However Vijayashanti couldn't due to her busy schedule in politics. This vacuum is felt even now."

As is known, Vijayashanti is making comeback to films with Super Star Mahesh Babu’s Sarileru Neekevvaru likely to go on floors very soon.
