Last
year,
actress
Rakul
Preet
was
roped
in
to
play
the
female
lead
opposite
Naga
Chaitanya
in
the
multi-starrer
Venky
Mama.
As
expected,
this
created
a
great
deal
of
buzz
amongst
fans
for
all
the
right
reasons.
Unfortunately,
the
film
did
not
go
on
floors
as
planned
and
this
upset
movie
buffs
big
time.
In
the
meantime,
Rakul
agreed
to
play
a
crucial
role
in
Manmadhudu
2,
which
has
veteran
actor
Nagarjuna
in
the
lead.
This,
apparently,
left
the
Venky
Mama
team
in
a
state
of
shock.
Now,
in
a
major
development,
the
team
has
shown
the
door
to
the
Spyder
actress
and
zeroed
in
on
Kannada
beauty
Nabha
Natesh
for
the
role.
The
makers
apparently
felt
that
as
Rakul
is
doing
Manmadhudu
2
with
Nagarjuna,
it
would
not
make
sense
for
her
to
work
with
Chay
in
Venky
Mama.
This
is
a
rather
shocking
situation
and
it
might
upset
Rakul
big
time.
On
a
related
note,
Rakul
had
a
bad
2018
as
her
only
major
release
Aiyaary
under-performed
at
the
box
office.
She
was
last
seen
in
the
Kollywood
film
Dev,
which
hit
screens
on
Valentine's
Day
(February
14,
2019).
At
present,
she
has
the
Kollywood
biggie
NGK
and
the
Bollywood
film
De
De
Pyaar
De
in
her
kitty.
She
will
also
be
seen
in
Marjaavaan
and
SK
14.
