Anushka
Shetty,
the
star
actress
is
on
a
high
with
the
massive
success
of
her
most
recent

Now,
the
gossipmongers
are
speculating
Anushka's
association
with

starring
big

According
to
some
unconfirmed
reports,
the
actress
has
been
approached
to
essay
the
role
of
Draupadi
in
the
prestigious
project.
If
the
rumours
are
to
be
true,
Mahabharata/Randamoozham
might
mark
the
Malayalam
debut
of
Anushka
Shetty.
Earlier,
it
was
reported
that
Manju
Warrier
and

Bachchan
have
been
considered
to
essay
the
role
of
Draupadi

the
project,
which
is
directed
by
renowned
ad
film-maker
VA
Shrikumar
Menon.
But
the
team
brushed
off
the
rumours
later.
Recently,
Shrikumar
had
revealed
that
8
popular
Indian
actors
have
been
approached
to
essay
the
prominent
roles
in
Mahabharata/Randamoozham,
which
is
made
with
a
budget
of
1000
Crores.
This
fuels
the
speculations
regarding
Anushka's
association
with
the
project.
Nagarjuna
Akkineni,
the
senior
Telugu
actor
has
reportedly
been
finalised
for
the
role
of
Karnan
in
the
movie,
which
is
scripted
by

Vasudevan
Nair.
Reportedly,
megastar

has
also
been
considered
to
play
a
pivotal
role
in
