Producer
Allu
Aravind's
son
Sirish
has
reportedly
replaced
Naga
Chaithanya
in
director
Radha
Mohan’s
bilingual
project
Gauravam,
which
will
be
his
debut
movie.
But
the
selection
of
his
female
co-star
has
created
a
lot
of
curiosity
among
the
movie
buffs.
Several
names
are
considered
for
the
role
of
his
love
interest.
Naga
Chaitanya
was
initially
chosen
for
the
role
of
hero
in
the
film
Gauaurvam,
while
Sarath
Kumar's
daughter
Varalaxmi
was
to
play
his
love
interest.
But
Varalaxmi's
name
was
reportedly
dropped
from
Radha
Mohan’s
wish
list
after
Naga
Chaitanya
walked
out
of
project
over
some
reason.
Later,
names
of
Kannada
heroines
like
Nidhi
Subbaiah
and
Aindrita
Ray
were
considered
for
the
female
lead,
but
their
names
were
dropped
from
the
list
after
they
did
not
suit
the
image
of
Sirish.
The
names
of
Nithya
Menen
and
Priya
Anand
were
also
doing
rounds
in
air
for
some
time.
Gauravam
will
be
Sirish's
debut
movie
and
heroine
will
play
a
key
role
in
the
success
of
the
film.
So
the
makers
of
the
movie
wants
cast
an
actress,
who
is
popular
in
both
Tamil
and
Telugu.
Actress
Amala
Paul,
who
is
successful
in
both
industries,
is
a
strong
contender
for
the
role.
However,
one
has
to
wait
to
know
who
will
ultimately
pair
with
Sirish.
