Anamika
-
First
Remake
of
Shekhar
Sekhar
Kammula
is
one
of
the
prolific
directors
and
screenwriters
in
Indian
cinema
and
he
has
not
done
any
remake
in
the
past.
During
announcement
of
Anamika,
he
had
said
that
he
would
change
the
story
as
per
taste
of
local
audience.
He
had
said,
"I
want
to
shift
all
focus
on
the
project
which
will
be
adapted
and
customised
to
the
local
sensibilities."
Nayantara's
Baby
Bump
The
makers
of
Anamika
had
earlier
released
a
few
pictures
and
they
also
did
not
show
Nayantara's
baby
bump.
Now,
her
first
look
has
sparked
a
new
debate
on
the
story
of
Anamika.
Many
feel
that
the
director
has
made
a
lot
of
changes
in
its
story
and
Nayan
may
not
appear
as
pregnant
woman
in
it.
Anushka
Was
First
Choice
For
Anamika
Anushka
Shetty
was
the
first
choice
for
Anamika
and
the
director
had
initially
approached
her
for
the
female
lead.
But
the
actress
rejected
his
offer
because
her
magnum
opus
projects
dates
directly
clash
with
this
film.
Later,
Sekhar
roped
in
Nayantara
for
this
project.
Nayantara
Shooting
For
Anamika
Nayantara
kick-started
the
shooting
for
Sekhar
Kammula's
bilingual
movie
Anamika
in
the
dusty
streets
of
old
city,
Hyderabad
on
April
28.
The
director
had
planned
to
complete
the
project
in
50
days
by
shooting
continuously
in
the
shooting.
Nayantara
Playing
Title
Role
Nayantara,
who
has
given
bulk
dates
for
Anamika,
is
playing
the
title
role
in
the
film,
which
is
being
co-produced
by
Endemol
India,
Logline
Productions
and
Select
Media
Holdings.
Nayan
Thrilled
About
Her
New
Look
In
Anamika
Talking
about
Anamika,
Nayantara
says,
"It's
an
honour
to
have
worked
with
a
critically
acclaimed
and
award
winning
director
like
Sekhar.
I
am
thrilled
to
be
a
part
of
this
project
which
gave
me
an
opportunity
to
play
a
strong
female
character.
With
a
completely
new
look
in
Anamika,
I
hope
that
the
audiences
would
appreciate
the
film
and
my
role."
