Ever
since
Nithiin
announced
Telugu
remake
of
Hindi
blockbuster
Andhadhun,
fans
have
been
keeping
an
eye
on
the
updates
about
the
much-awaited
film.
The
original
version
stars
Ayushmann
Khurrana,
Tabu
and
Radhika
Apte
in
the
lead
roles.
Directed
by
Sriram
Raghavan,
the
film
was
applauded
for
its
intriguing
plot
and
performances
of
stars
like
Ayushmann
Khurrana
and
Tabu
as
blind
pianist
and
villain
respectively.
For
the
Telugu
version,
makers
are
searching
for
an
actress
to
play
the
bold
role
played
by
Tabu
in
the
original
film.
Actresses
like
Ramya
Krishnan
and
Shilpa
Shetty
were
considered
to
play
Tabu's
part
in
the
Telugu
remake
of
Andhadhun.
But
now,
a
report
published
in
a
leading
portal
suggests
that
South
Siren
Nayanthara
is
likely
to
play
Tabu's
part.
Nayanthara
is
known
for
getting
into
the
skin
of
the
character.
However,
the
main
problem
for
the
makers
is
her
remuneration.
The
report
states
that
Nayanthara
is
demanding
Rs
4
crore
for
Andhadhun
remake,
to
play
Tabu's
role.
Well,
the
actress
used
to
charge
Rs
2
crore
to
act
in
superstar's
film.
But
when
it
comes
to
playing
a
role
in
the
heroine-oriented
film,
she
takes
around
Rs
4
crore.
However,
there
is
no
official
confirmation
about
the
same.
Earlier,
Ileana
D'Cruz
was
approached
for
the
role
but
she
declined
it.

On
the
other
hand,
