A
few
days
ago,
we
had
reported
that
Nayanthara
is
likely
to
be
seen
playing
a
bold
character
in
Nithiin-starrer
much-awaited
Telugu
remake
of
Hindi
blockbuster,
Andhadhun.
The
report
also
stated
that
Nayanthara
is
charging
Rs
4
crore
to
play
a
grey
shade
character
in
the
film.
However,
the
latest
piece
of
information
about
the
South
siren
might
break
your
heart.
A
report
published
in
a
leading
portal
states
that
Nayanthara
has
rejected
the
role
played
by
Tabu
in
the
original,
as
she
doesn't
want
to
play
dark
characters
on
screen.
The
report
further
suggests
that
Nayanthara
is
not
interested
in
playing
roles
that
have
extramarital
affairs
and
ruthless
personality
like
Tabu's
character
in
Andhadhun.
After
Nayanthara's
rejection,
makers
will
now
have
to
start
searching
for
another
actress
to
play
the
bold
role
in
the
upcoming
Telugu
thriller.
If
reports
are
to
be
believed,
the
role
was
earlier
offered
to
actresses
like
Ramya
Krishnan,
Shilpa
Shetty
and
Ileana
D'Cruz,
but
they
didn't
accept
the
offer.
Hence,
it
will
be
interesting
to
see
who
is
going
to
be
the
villain
in
Andhadhun's
Telugu
remake.
Talking
about
the
film,
the
Nithiin-starrer
will
be
directed
by
Merlapaka
Gandhi.
The
shooting
of
the
film
already
started
in
February
2020.
The
remake
rights
of
Hindi
Andhadhun
were
bought
for
Rs
3.5
crore
by
Nithiin's
home
production,
Sreshth
Movies.
For
the
unversed,
the
original
film
Andhadhun
stars
Ayushmann
Khurrana,
Tabu
and
Radhika
Apte
in
the
lead
roles.
Directed
by
Sriram
Raghavan,
the
film
went
on
to
become
one
of
the
most
successful
films
of
2018.
