Tollywood star hero Vijay Deverakonda recently starred in the movie ‘Family Star‘. He is currently set to work on a film directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri. There has been keen interest in Tollywood about who will be cast as the heroine in this movie. Initially, there were reports that Sreeleela would be paired with Vijay. However, according to the latest buzz, young sensation Mamita Baiju has been locked in as the heroine.
Kerala Beauty as Vijay’s Co-Star!
In the film ‘Premalu‘, the young Malayali beauty ‘Mamita Baiju‘ stole the hearts of the youth. With her enchanting appearance and impressive acting, she won over the audience, and the Telugu version of ‘Premalu’ also received tremendous reception. Following this backdrop, she started receiving substantial offers in Telugu. It is learned that she has been offered a role in the upcoming ‘VD12’ film, which is a Vijay Deverakonda and director Gowtam Tinnanuri combo. The unit believes Mamita Baiju fits perfectly as Vijay’s co-star in this new love story. Mamita has also shown great interest in acting alongside Vijay. It is said that this Malayali beauty will directly be doing this Telugu film, with an official announcement expected soon.

It’s not the first time Malayalam actresses have acted in Telugu films. Actresses from the Malayalam industry like Anupama Parameswaran, Keerthy Suresh, Nivetha Thomas, and Malavika Mohanan have also made a name for themselves in Telugu with their acting and glamour. Now, young sensation Mamita Baiju is ready to join this list. The youth audience, who were charmed by her performance in ‘Premalu’, are already heightening their expectations for ‘VD12’. They strongly believe that her magic will begin in Telugu too.
Why Mamita?
‘VD12’ will be produced by Sitara Entertainments on a pan-India scale. The film’s lead, Vijay, enjoys widespread popularity not only in the Telugu states but also in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. To broaden the appeal of ‘VD12’ to Malayalam and North Indian audiences, the inclusion of Mamita Baiju is seen as advantageous. Her recent success with the pan-India film ‘Premalu’ and its strong overseas performance suggest that her popularity will significantly enhance the movie’s reach and reception. Consequently, it seems there was a deliberate choice to cast Mamita Baiju over Sreeleela.
