The movie industry often sees stories initially meant for one hero being taken up by another. Sometimes, big stars choose projects that were originally intended for smaller actors, and vice versa. This exchange can lead to either blockbuster hits or flops. One such instance was when a film meant for Pawan Kalyan ended up transforming Mahesh Babu’s career.
Recently, Tamil director Sibi Chakraborty pitched a storyline to natural star Nani. Although Nani liked the idea, the final version of the script didn’t materialize, leading him to decline the project. Consequently, Chakraborty decided to proceed with Tamil hero Siva Karthikeyan instead.
Siva Karthikeyan, buoyed by the success of his previous movie Don, readily accepted the offer. When Nani visited Chennai for an event, Siva Karthikeyan suggested some modifications to the script, further cementing his decision to take on the project.
Rashmika Mandanna is being considered for the female lead role, pending scheduling arrangements. Further details about the film, including its budget and release date, are yet to be disclosed.
Production is expected to commence in a few months, with a potential start date around Dussehra or Diwali if everything goes according to plan. Thus, what was initially
Nani No eventually finds its way into Siva Karthikeyan’s hands. Only time will tell how successful this venture turns out to be for him.
