Venu Yeldandi, who made a solid debut as a director with Balagam, is now working hard to get his next project on track. He announced a film titled Yellamma under star producer Dil Raju’s banner quite some time ago. However, there has been no clarity from the makers regarding who will play the lead role.
Several names were reportedly considered for the protagonist’s role. After Nani rejected the offer, Nithiin gave his nod but later he too backed out reportedly. Later, Sharwanand and Bellamkonda Sreenivas’ names popped up on social media. However, in an unexpected twist, the makers have locked Rockstar Devi Sri Prasad for the lead role, according to the latest buzz on social media.
This sudden talk about the much-discussed project has already started creating ripples on the internet. If the news turns out to be true, it will mark DSP’s debut as a lead actor. The popular composer has earlier made cameo appearances, but never played a full-fledged role on screen. Keerthy Suresh is roped in as the female lead in Yellamma.
