Prabhas Joins 'Viswam' to Support Friend Gopichand with a Special Contribution

Prabhas is currently a sensation in the Indian film industry. Following the blockbuster success of 'Kalki 2898 AD,' where he starred as the beloved hero, his name is echoing across the country. He is receiving widespread adulation from Indian film lovers, captivating audiences from north to south with his fame. Amidst this acclaim, exciting news about Prabhas is generating buzz. Rumors suggest that Prabhas has made a significant decision for his friend Gopichand. Let's explore the details. Elevations with Prabhas! In the film 'Viswam', directed by star director Srinu Vaitla and starring macho star Gopichand, it has been rumored that Prabhas will appear in a guest role. According to the latest buzz, it’s confirmed that Prabhas will indeed participate in this film. Discussions suggest that Prabhas will contribute to the movie by providing a voice-over. It is said that Prabhas will lend his voice to elevate Gopichand's introduction scene. This would mark the first time Prabhas has provided a voice-over in a film, a gesture he has agreed to specifically for his friend Gopichand. This news has both Prabhas and Gopichand’s fans very excited. Will This Plan Succeed? Hero Gopichand is in dire need of a hit as his last four films—Bhimaa, Ramabanam, Pakka Commercial, and Aaradugula Bullet—have performed poorly at the box office. Similarly, director Srinu Vaitla has been unable to deliver a blockbuster like 'Dookudu', which came out in 2011. Thus, he has high hopes for 'Viswam'. With Prabhas currently in top form, the film unit is planning to bring him on board to generate hype for 'Viswam'. They have approached Prabhas to provide a voice elevation for the hero, believing it could contribute significantly to the film's success. Whether this plan will work remains to be seen. Off-screen Friends Prabhas and Gopichand are well-known to be good friends in the industry. They first worked together in the movie 'Varsham', where Prabhas was the hero and Gopichand played the villain. Their friendship has continued unabated since then. Both appeared together on the show 'Unstoppable' hosted by Balayya, where they had a great time. After this episode, fans were overjoyed to see them together, reinforcing their status as best friends. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmCOHX1D1gA 'Viswam' Release Date? 'Viswam', a film featuring Gopichand and directed by Srinu Vaitla with Kavya Thapar as the heroine, is being produced jointly by TG Vishwaprasad and Venu Donepudi. Chaitanya Bharadwaj is providing the music. The film’s shooting is nearly complete, and it is set to be released on August 15. Previously, a glimpse of the movie was released during Ramadan, which captivated the audience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LoKTtrxjmM

#BoycottSaiPallavi Trends Over Army Comments as Her War Film 'Amaran' Releases; Bollywood PR Drama Exposed?

Sai Pallavi's latest film 'Amaran' is set to release this Diwali as a festive treat for the audience. The film, set against an army backdrop, has kept Sai Pallavi very busy with promotions. During this period, some netizens have targeted her, calling for a boycott of Sai Pallavi's films on social media. The hashtag #BoycottSaiPallavi is trending nationwide. A video of her past comments, perceived as insulting to the Indian army, has been going viral on social media for the last three days. What Actually Happened? As known, the film 'Amaran' is set against an army backdrop. This has brought Sai Pallavi's controversial past comments about the Indian army back into the spotlight, causing the related video to go viral. During the promotions of the movie 'Virata Parvam,' Sai Pallavi gave an interview to a YouTube channel, discussing terrorism and violence. She remarked, "We view Pakistani soldiers as terrorists, and similarly, Pakistanis see our Indian soldiers as terrorists. They think we are harming them. Violence is no solution to any problem. Wars were fought in the past when there was no law. Now, there is no need for that." These comments have ignited fury among netizens. https://twitter.com/ViralVidox/status/1850064411202932830 Demand for Boycott In the same interview where Sai Pallavi allegedly disrespected the Indian army, she also made remarks that have been construed as offensive to Sanatana Dharma. This video too has gone viral, with netizens campaigning on social media for everyone to boycott Sai Pallavi's films. Nationalist and traditionalist groups are demanding a 100% boycott of Sai Pallavi's films, suggesting that since she favors Pakistan, she might as well make films there. They are criticizing her harshly, saying she is not really the national crush but a different kind of crush. A netizen has also demanded a boycott of her latest film 'Amaran' and even called for her removal from the upcoming Hindi film 'Ramayanam,' in which she is supposed to play Sita. There are demands for stringent action against those who speak ill of Sanatana Dharma. On the other hand, Sai Pallavi's fans are defending her, claiming her words are being twisted and unnecessary controversy is being stirred up. https://twitter.com/Bhav1212B/status/1850791387672801479 https://twitter.com/cinematicfreak0/status/1850791153928745098 https://twitter.com/devx_18k/status/1850791086458831193 https://twitter.com/Chhuparustam91/status/1850790246012653618 https://twitter.com/itz_meprabhat/status/1850787660815855924 https://twitter.com/itz_meprabhat/status/1850787660815855924 https://twitter.com/MissDD114/status/1850829733895737441 Sai Pallavi's Emotional Post Amidst these promotions for 'Amaran,' Sai Pallavi recently visited the National War Memorial. She paid tribute to soldiers who died for the country, posting photos of the visit on her Instagram. She added emotional words to these images, stating, "Before starting the promotions for Amaran, I wanted to visit the National War Memorial. I went there a few days ago. It is a sacred temple that holds details about soldiers who sacrificed their lives for us. I felt very emotional while paying tribute to Major Mukund Varadarajan and Soldier Vikram Singh." https://twitter.com/Sai_Pallavi92/status/1850571262755582363 Are They Deliberately Targeting Her? Recently, during the promotions for 'Amaran,' Sai Pallavi made interesting comments. She mentioned that someone from Bollywood, representing a PR agency, approached her promising to enhance her image. However, she rejected this offer, stating she had no need for such services. Now, accusations are surfacing that this is a targeted campaign to tarnish her image as she is about to make her Bollywood debut with 'Ramayanam.' There are significant comments urging her removal from the role of Sita. Discussions in film circles suggest that the Bollywood PR teams are deliberately targeting Sai Pallavi. https://twitter.com/bollywooddadi/status/1849561000456179910 Amar Jawan Biography The film 'Amaran', directed by Rajkumar Periasamy and starring Sivakarthikeyan with Sai Pallavi (Sai Pallavi) as the heroine, is set to release this month on the 31st, coinciding with Diwali.

Nani and Vijay Deverakonda: Battling Nepotism in Tollywood's Tier 2

Nepotism has always been a hot topic in the film industry. Following the tragic demise of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, the debate around nepotism intensified. There's a widespread belief that nepotism bars opportunities for outsiders as industry heirs dominate the space. Nepotism has become commonplace, and Tollywood is no exception. It's often said that, after Bollywood, our industry has a high number of heroes from film families, leaving actors like Nani, Vijay Deverakonda, Nithiin, Adivi Sesh, Sharwanand, and Gopichand categorized as 'Tier 2' heroes. But how much truth is there to this? Are they truly unable to succeed because of nepotism? Let's find out in this special report. What Exactly is 'Tier 2'? Generally, in every industry, actors are classified into two or three tiers based on their popularity. In Tollywood, names like Prabhas, Ram Charan, Jr NTR, Allu Arjun, Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh Babu, Chiranjeevi, and Balakrishna are considered 'Tier 1' heroes. They create a festive atmosphere in theaters upon the release of their films, recovering about 30% to 50% of the budget on the first day itself due to their massive fan following. Tier 2 heroes, as previously mentioned, including Nani, Vijay Deverakonda, Nithiin, Ram Pothineni, Naga Chaitanya, and Gopichand, may lag slightly behind in terms of remuneration, fan base, and budget of the films. Despite competing with top-tier heroes and being active in the industry, their films' collections tend to be limited. Unseen by Star Directors! Star directors like Rajamouli, Trivikram, Sukumar, and Koratala Siva prefer working with top-tier heroes, which, fans argue, does injustice to stars like Vijay Deverakonda and Nani. The exclusion by star directors reportedly prevents these actors from achieving pan-Indian success. Even though they release films with new directors at a pan-India level, they don't achieve the expected results. Hero Nani faced this with his project 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,' planned for a pan-India release but still not released in Hindi. Fans suggest that despite having talent, the lack of star power beyond Tollywood is a disadvantage for Nani. Are Stories Failing Too? A great cast cannot save a film if the story fails. Whether a film is a success or a failure largely depends on the story. Fans are questioning whether 'Tier 2' heroes are choosing their scripts wisely. Recent films like Ram Pothineni's 'Double iSmart', Ravi Teja's 'Mr Bachchan', Nithiin's 'Extraordinary Man', and Gopichand's 'Rambanam' have left fans puzzled over why these actors accepted these projects. With big scripts mostly going to top-tier heroes, 'Tier 2' actors have to settle for what's left, some commentators feel. Nepotism vs Talent! The notion that only heirs in the film industry can succeed is a myth. If that were true, every offspring from major film families would become a star hero. No matter the background, without acting talent, longevity in the industry is impossible, as many heirs have demonstrated. Actors like Nani, Vijay Deverakonda, Ravi Teja, Siddhu Jonnalagadda, Adivi Sesh, and Naveen Polishetty have made their mark without any significant background, solely based on their talent. A significant success for Nani could propel him to 'Tier 1', fueling speculations among fans. The Fault Lies in the Audience! In a past interview, actors Rana and Nani made interesting comments about nepotism. Rana highlighted the unseen pressures and responsibilities that come with inheritance, stating that nepotism only helps to an extent, and without talent, one cannot survive in the industry. Nani, addressing the role of nepotism in cinema, mentioned that it's not industry insiders but the audience that fosters nepotism. He pointed out the disparity in audience size between his debut and that of actor Charan, questioning the audience's role in perpetuating nepotism.

Although she has appeared in only a few films, she has gained substantial recognition for her unique acting skills. In a time often characterized by bikini and kissing scenes, she captivates audiences with her performances in traditional attire and her exceptional dancing abilities. Recently, at the 68th Filmfare Awards South 2023, Sai Pallavi set a new record, achieving a rare distinction that no other heroine has accomplished.

Bollywood's Biggest Epic: Ranbir-Sai Pallavi's Ramayana Brings Together Oscar Winners, VFX Giants, and Star-Studded Cast

It's known that a film based on the epic Ramayana is in the making in Bollywood. Titled 'Ramayana', the film stars Ranbir Kapoor as Rama and Sai Pallavi as Sita, with Bollywood's star director Nitesh Tiwari helming the project. The shooting for this movie began some time ago, and some photos from the set have already leaked. Meanwhile, the movie team has officially provided some dazzling updates about the movie. Let's take a look at these details now. In Two Parts... The film 'Ramayana' is being produced as a prestigious project in Bollywood. Produced in collaboration with leading Bollywood producers and Allu Aravind, the filming has been ongoing for quite some time, yet until now, no official announcement had been made. Noticing the fans' growing dissatisfaction, the movie team has announced the release date without any prior information and revealed that the movie will be released in two parts. They have announced that the first part of Ramayana will be released for Diwali 2026 and the second part for Diwali 2027, as confirmed by a poster release. Sunny Deol as Hanuman! It is already known that Kannada star hero Yash will be seen as Ravana in the film 'Ramayana'. Alongside him, several star actors are reported to be part of this big project. Bollywood star hero Sunny Deol is said to be playing the role of Hanuman. Rakul Preet Singh is reportedly playing the role of Surpanakha. Veteran actor Arun Govil, who became extremely popular as Rama in the Hindi 'Ramayana' series, is set to appear as Dasharatha. Furthermore, Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi, Ravi Dubey as Lakshmana, Indira Krishnan as Kausalya, and Sheeba Chaddha as Mandara are among others reported to be in the cast. This information indicates that many actors from Bollywood are participating in the Ramayana project. https://twitter.com/seeuatthemovie/status/1854049562689740919 Oscar Winners for Music To compose music for 'Ramayana', two Oscar winners have joined the field. One is Indian Oscar winner A.R. Rahman, and the other is Hollywood Oscar winner Hans Zimmer. Initially, A.R. Rahman was chosen as the music director for the film, but aiming for international music standards, Hans Zimmer was also brought on board. This marks Hans Zimmer’s first Indian film project, known for his work in Hollywood films like 'The Lion King', 'The Dark Knight Trilogy', and 'Inception'. Special Focus on Graphics Following the release of 'Adipurush', where Prabhas starred as Rama and faced heavy criticism particularly for its graphics, being deemed too cartoonish and poorly executed, the 'Ramayana' team is taking extra caution. A graphic team that has worked on Hollywood-level films has been hired for this movie. It's reported that an agreement has been made with the Oscar-winning company DNEG for visual effects, involving a team of 26 experts from both Hollywood and Bollywood. This shows that the movie team is making no compromises when it comes to VFX. Trivikram Responsible for Telugu Version The responsibility of writing dialogues for the Telugu version of 'Ramayana' has been entrusted to the renowned dialogue writer Trivikram Srinivas, known for his special place in Tollywood and his strong grasp on Telugu literature. This has been confirmed through various films he has worked on previously. News had surfaced earlier about the 'Ramayana' unit approaching him, and there was a significant discussion on this topic, but Trivikram did not deny any of it, leading Telugu audiences to believe that he is indeed a partner in the 'Ramayana' team.

Prabhas to Play Parashurama in Upcoming Mythological Epic 'Ramayana'?

When you think of Prabhas, his physique is what immediately comes to mind for everyone. His stature has greatly aided his rise as a Pan-India star. When Prabhas performs an action sequence, it feels real to the audience. Not just action, his stature fits well even for mythological characters. Prabhas has already appeared as Lord Rama in 'Adipurush,' as Karna in 'Kalki 2898 AD,' and there's talk that he will be seen as Nandi in the upcoming 'Kannappa.' Amidst this, there’s exciting news related to Prabhas that he will also be portraying Parashurama soon. Let's dive into the details now. Prabhas as Parashurama! It’s known that a movie titled 'Ramayana' is currently being filmed in Bollywood, with Ranbir Kapoor playing Rama and Sai Pallavi as Sita. The director, Nitesh Tiwari, wants to make the wedding scene of Sita and Rama a visual feast. In this context, the character of Parashurama is crucial, being the avatar that precedes Rama in the dashavatara (ten incarnations) of Vishnu. Nitesh thinks it fitting that a star of equal stature to Ranbir, who is playing Rama, should portray Parashurama. Hence, he is considering Prabhas for this role. There’s buzz in B-Town that Prabhas has been approached for this. Bollywood circles suggest that Prabhas has agreed to the role, with an official announcement expected soon. However, his role in the film is said to be brief but impactful. Star Couples as Villains Prabhas is set to work on a film directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga (of 'Animal' fame), titled 'Spirit.' The script phase is already underway. Recently, there have been substantial reports that Kareena Kapoor will be acting in this film and that Saif Ali Khan will play a villain. The latest buzz is that Kareena Kapoor will also portray a character with negative shades in 'Spirit.' Real-life couple Kareena and Saif are rumored to be playing villains in this film, which awaits further confirmation. Police vs Mafia Don! 'Spirit' is rumored to feature Prabhas in a dual role, stirring strong buzz. The script work is said to be complete, with only the dialogues left to be finalized. If rumors are to be believed, Prabhas will be seen as a police officer in one role and as a mafia don in another, with the latter having negative shades. Fans are confident that if this turns out to be true, it will be a blockbuster at the box office. In celebration of Prabhas’s birthday on October 10, a special poster is expected to be released, with 'Spirit' set to go on floors by January 25 of the next year. Meanwhile, Prabhas has previously done dual roles in movies like 'Billa,' 'Baahubali,' and 'Baahubali 2,' and is rumored to be doing the same in the upcoming 'Raja Saab.' Periodical Love Story! Prabhas and Hanu Raghavapudi are known to be teaming up for a film. Recently, a puja ceremony was held concerning this movie, which is rumored to be a period action love drama. Set against the backdrop of the Razakars era, during the time of Hyderabad's accession to India, director Hanu Raghavapudi has reportedly crafted a beautiful love story. The film, tentatively titled 'Fauji' (meaning soldier), will reportedly feature Prabhas as an Indian paramilitary soldier. Iman Ismail is set to star as the heroine and has already participated in the recent puja events, capturing attention on social media with her looks.

Sai Pallavi Opens Up About the Emotional Toll of Filming 'Shyam Singha Roy': I Cried Out to My Sister for Help

Sai Pallavi, recognized as one of the leading actresses in Tollywood, made her cinematic debut with the Malayalam film 'Premam'. She won the hearts of Telugu audiences with 'Fidaa'. Her captivating acting skills and mesmerizing dance performances have left an indelible mark on the Telugu film industry. Recently, her Tamil film 'Amaran' achieved pan-Indian release and was a huge hit. In an interview with a channel about Amaran's success, Sai Pallavi made interesting remarks about her challenging experiences physically and mentally during the shooting of 'Shyam Singha Roy' with Nani. Why? Directed by Periyasamy and starring Sivakarthikeyan, 'Amaran' revolves around the life of a martyred army soldier and was a massive box office success, grossing over Rs. 180 crores. In this context, Sai Pallavi discussed her latest film and mentioned the difficulties she faced during the filming of 'Shyam Singha Roy'. She revealed that night shoots were especially challenging for her, stating that the majority of her scenes in 'Shyam Singha Roy' were filmed at night, which meant she had to stay awake until dawn. This continued for about 30 days, making her situation almost unbearable. "I Cried Out to My Sister" While shooting 'Shyam Singha Roy' at night, Sai Pallavi was also attending another movie set during the day, which left her mentally exhausted. One night, her sister Pooja Kannan visited, and Sai Pallavi broke down while talking to her, expressing her inability to stop her tears and her desire for a day off. Moved by her plight, her sister went directly to the producer of 'Shyam Singha Roy', Venkat Boyanapalli, and pleaded for a day off, saying, "My sister is crying, please give her at least one day off." The producer responded immediately, "Take ten days off. Do what you need to, and when you feel everything is fine, come back to the shooting." Sai Pallavi Stuns as a Devadasi In 'Shyam Singha Roy', directed by Rahul Sankrityan and starring Nani, the film was a huge success at the box office. It featured themes of reincarnation, with Nani playing dual roles as Vasu and Shyam Singha Roy, a character from the 1970s. Sai Pallavi excelled in the role of Devadasi Maitreyi, captivating the audience with her emotional performance and unparalleled dance skills, elevating her status as an actress. Her portrayal of the life of Devadasis was lauded as beyond praise. After the release of 'Shyam Singha Roy', the audience equally praised Sai Pallavi's performance alongside Nani. Sai Pallavi's Projects Currently, Sai Pallavi is working with director Chandoo Mondeti on the film 'Thandel', co-starring Naga Chaitanya. Following the blockbuster 'Love Story', expectations are high for their next collaboration, 'Thandel', set to release on February 7 next year. Additionally, she is involved in a high-profile Bollywood project directed by Nitesh Tiwari titled 'Ramayana', where she plays Sita. Recently leaked photos of her as Sita have captivated a wide audience. Ranbir Kapoor plays Rama and Yash plays Ravana.

Prashanth Neel's New Pan-India Film 'Bagheera' Trailer Drops: Fans Spot Strong 'KGF' Vibes!

From the Kannada film industry, 'KGF' and 'KGF 2' have created a sensation nationwide. Before 'KGF', Prashanth Neel, an unknown Kannada director, became a pan-India star with these two films. Recently, he directed 'Salaar' with Prabhas, creating another box office tsunami. Prashanth Neel is known for his meticulous attention to storytelling. In this sequence, he provided a story for a pan-India film titled 'Bagheera', whose trailer was released today and is captivating the audience. The trailer contains many elements reminiscent of 'KGF'. In black and white frames... The combination of director Prashanth Neel and production house Hombale Films, known from 'KGF', has gained recognition on a pan-India scale. Expectations for any project from this combination are sky-high. Under this combination, Hombale Films has produced a pan-India film, 'Bagheera', directed by Suri, with Sri Murali from Prashanth Neel's first film 'Ugramm' playing the lead role. The recently released trailer of this film is exceptionally captivating, showing Sri Murali in two different getups. The trailer, styled by Prashanth Neel, includes black and white visuals along with action sequences. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O38mUkgL-w8 KGF-style dialogues! A Prashanth Neel film is known not only for its action but also for its compelling dialogues. The dialogues from 'KGF' received a great response. Similar dialogues can be seen in the 'Bagheera' trailer. It starts with a boy asking his mother, "Why does God always talk about Ramayana and Mahabharata, and why doesn't he ever come?" To which the mother explains the circumstances under which God appears, saying, "He comes when a man becomes a beast." This dialogue is followed by scenes featuring brutal villains. The hero, a police officer, is shown putting aside his uniform and ruthlessly eliminating criminals as a masked vigilante. The trailer shows Sri Murali’s acting prowess in dual roles, one as a police officer and the other as a weapon against demons. Actor Prakash Raj is also seen in the trailer as a high-ranking police official. Mother's sentiment! In 'KGF', the hero's mother dies during his childhood, and the promise he made to her turns him into a criminal. Observing the 'Bagheera' trailer suggests a similar story, indicating the presence of a mother's sentiment. A boy, whose mother dies when he is young, grows up to become a police officer to fight injustices. Believing that justice isn’t served legally, he turns into a masked man and brutally kills criminals. However, the hero's mother might have faced troubles from criminals, and with the intention that no one else should suffer as she did, he wears the uniform. Netizens believe that the combination of black and white frames and action sequences gives a feeling reminiscent of 'KGF'. The film is set to release in front of audiences on October 31. Busy with 'NTR 31' After the blockbuster 'Salaar', Prashanth Neel is set to work with Jr NTR on his next project, tentatively titled 'NTR 31'. This film is rumored to be set against a backdrop in Bangladesh, with Tarak playing a Bangladeshi farmer. This project is likely to start rolling soon. While known for directing sequels, it is reported that Prashanth Neel intends to make 'NTR 31' as a single part. After this movie, there's a possibility that Prashanth Neel will direct 'Salaar 2' with Prabhas. Recently, there were also reports about finalizing a project with Ram Charan.

'Thandel' Creates Buzz: Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi Reunite for a Spectacular Shivaratri Special!

There is significant buzz in Tollywood about the movie 'Thandel', starring Akkineni Naga Chaitanya as the hero and Sai Pallavi as the heroine. This romantic action drama is shaping up after their blockbuster 'Love Story'. As this is the second film from the Chaitu-Sai Pallavi combo, expectations are high for 'Thandel'. Movie lovers are eagerly awaiting its release, and a thrilling update from 'Thandel' has just been released, delighting cinema fans. Shivaratri Special Song The film 'Thandel', directed by Chandu Mondeti and featuring Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi, is currently in the shooting phase. A Shivaratri-themed song is being filmed, for which a massive set has been erected. The makers have reportedly spent around 4 crores to make this song a visual treat, involving hundreds of dancers. According to Filmnagar circles, Sai Pallavi and Naga Chaitanya are set to dazzle with dance styles reminiscent of Shiva and Parvati. This is the first time a song of this scale with a Shivaratri theme has been composed in the history of Telugu cinema. Photos from the shooting spot released by the film unit are currently trending online, showcasing Chaitu and Sai Pallavi invoking the essence of Shiva and Parvati. https://twitter.com/ThandelTheMovie/status/1840612058691183016 Here is the story of Thandel 'Thandel', the 23rd film in Naga Chaitanya's career, features music by Devi Sri Prasad. In this movie, Naga Chaitanya appears as a fisherman. A group of fishermen from Srikakulam go to Veeraval in Gujarat for fishing and get caught by the Pakistan Coast Guard. The film unfolds with what happens next. The term 'Thandel' means a boat operator in Gujarati and is commonly used by the people in the villages along the Gujarat-Pakistan border, as revealed by director Chandu Mondeti in an interview. Chaitu’s Hopes Pinned on Thandel Currently, Naga Chaitanya has set all his hopes on his next film 'Thandel'. After 'Love Story', he has not had a proper hit, with his recent films 'Bangarraju', 'Thank You', 'Laal Singh Chaddha', and last year's 'Custody' being failures at the box office. Therefore, Naga Chaitanya is determined to find success with 'Thandel'. He has reportedly put in a lot of effort for his role as a fisherman. The film is being produced by Bunny Vas under the GA2 Pictures banner, presented by Allu Aravind, who also produced Naga Chaitanya's hit film '100% Love' under Geetha Arts. Sai Pallavi’s Projects Currently, Sai Pallavi has some exciting projects in hand. She is acting alongside Tamil star Sivakarthikeyan in the film 'Amaran', which is set to hit theaters on October 31. She is also part of the prestigious Bollywood project 'Ramayana', where she will be seen as Sita. It is reported that she is receiving remuneration of over 15 crores for this role. Additionally, news has surfaced that Sai Pallavi has been chosen as the heroine in an upcoming film by director Sekhar Kammula, featuring hero Nani.
