Guna Sekhar’s Rudramadevi, headlined by Anushka Shetty, became a commercial success at the box office. The biographical film based on the life of Kakatiya Queen Rudramadevi benefitted largely from the presence of Icon Star Allu Arjun. But did you know that Allu Arjun was not the first choice for Gona Ganna Reddy role?
During the promotions of Ghaati, Kollywood actor Vikram Prabhu revealed that he was initially approached for the character of Gona Ganna Reddy. However, Vikram Prabhu missed the opportunity (reason not specified), and the role eventually went to Allu Arjun, who killed it with his solid portrayal.
Vikram Prabhu also heaped praise on Allu Arjun’s performance and expressed regret over missing the chance to share screen space with Anushka back then. Finally, the actor got the opportunity to appear alongside Anushka Shetty in Ghaati which releases on September 5.
