Telugu top heroine Illeana was offered to play the lead role in Rajnikant's current film to be shot in Telugu and Tamil by director P Vasu. Sources told Telugucinema.com that Illeana rejected the film on personal grounds.
So the makers have now approached Nayanatara, Rajnikant's lucky mascot. Rajnikant and Nayantara are teaming up third time. Nayana shot to fame with Rajnikant's Chandramukhi and now she became a top star.
She also did an item song in Rajni's Shivaji. The film stars Jagapathi Babu as one of the lead roles in the Telugu version which is produced by Ashwinidutt.
