Pawan Kalyan's heroine woes

Pawan Kalyan’s upcoming film Bheemla Nayak has been in the making for quite some time. While 40 per cent of the film is done with Nithya Menen as one of the leads, the makers are finding it tough to finalise another female lead.

The names of Sai Pallavi and Aishwarya Rajesh did the rounds, and the filmmakers had even held talks with them. However, the second Covid-19 wave and subsequent lockdowns have made it difficult for the makers to get another actress whose dates suit the film’s schedule.

The latest buzz is that Samyuktha Menon’s name is under consideration. Talks have been initiated, but everything depends on her dates matching the film’s schedule.   Meanwhile, Pawan has been shooting for another film, Hari Hara Veera Mallu, and is set to begin shooting for director Harish Shankar’s Bhavadeeyudu Bhagat Singh too.
