It
is
no
secret
that
2018
was
a
terrible
year
for
actress
Sai
Pallavi
as
none
of
her
releases
did
well
at
the
box
office.
She
began
the
year
with
the
supernatural-drama
Diya
which
sank
without
a
trace
and
failed
to
impress
critics.
In
December,
she
returned
with
Maari
2
and
Padi
Padi
Leche
Manasu
which
hit
screens
on
the
same
day
amidst
a
reasonable
amount
of
fanfare.
Sadly,
both
these
films
did
nothing
for
her
career.
Now,
the
Fidaa
beauty
is
in
news
for
a
surprising
reason.
A
few
days
ago,
it
was
reported
that
director
Anil
Ravipudi
was
toying
with
the
idea
of
roping
in
Sai
Pallavi
for
his
film
with
Mahesh
Babu.
As
it
did
not
go
down
too
well
with
'Prince'
fans
who
made
it
clear
that
they
did
not
want
her
hero
to
act
with
the
young
sweetheart.
Some
of
them
also
said
that
Geetha
Govidam
actress
Rashmika
Mandanna
would
look
better
with
Mahesh
Babu.
According
to
the
latest
reports,
these
attacks
upset
Sai
Pallavi
who
decided
to
turn
down
the
movie
without
even
bothering
to
listen
to
the
script.
She
also
informed
the
team
that
she
was
busy
till
August
and
had
no
time
to
take
up
a
new
film.
Social
media
can
be
a
cruel
place
indeed!
On
a
related
note,
Sai
Pallavi
currently
has
Suriya's
NGK
and
the
Mollywood
film
Athiran
in
her
kitty.
