In Naga Chaitanya’s new film, Keerthy Suresh was the first choice to play the female lead. She was also approached about the role. Everything changed when it appeared that the makers were going to announce her name. Sai Pallavi stepped in now.
#NC23, Naga Chaitanya’s 23rd film, will reunite Sai Pallavi with her ‘Love Story’ star. So, how did Keerthy Suresh miss out on this project?
Both Naga Chaitanya and the producers thought Keerthy Suresh would be a good fit for this film about a fishing community. However, director Chandoo Mondeti and producers later decided that Sai Pallavi would do a better job than Keerthy Suresh in the role that required more performance skills. Aside from that, Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi’s previous collaboration was a huge success.
The makers thought it this combination will fetch more promotion and theatrical and non-theatrical deals.
As a result, Keerthy Suresh missed out on the opportunity to work alongside Naga Chaitanya in this film.
