Rumor has it that Kajal Agarwal didn't agree to play the heroine in this film due to financial issues. It was rumored that Kajal asked for a hefty paycheck to make adjustments to her call sheets diary. With no crazy heroine available at that time, they have zeroed in Trisha for Dammu.
Fans believed that NTR will not entertain Kajal anymore. They felt bad about it as he is already at war with Ileana. They feared that NTR should be doing films with outdated heroines like Trisha if he adds Kajal to his enemies list. But they can heave a sigh now as NTR and Kajal are going to team up very soon. Details later.
