For producers and directors of Nandamuri Balakrishna, the toughest job for them is to find the right heroine for the senior star.
Most heroines especially those who have some craze and popularity refuse to pair up with him given his image. The other reason is the current heroines look much younger opposite him.
No wonder then that Balayya is repeating actresses like Sonal Chauhan frequently who don’t have any issues to act with him.
However, Boyapati Srinu who will commence the regular shoot of his next film with Balakrishna from January is looking for actresses who have some craze.
He first approached Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha but it didn’t work out. Now, he has finalized Catherine Tresa as one of the female leads accepting her high demands.
Catherine is not in the top league of actresses but she reportedly demanded Rs 1 Crore as her remuneration to pair up with Balakrishna. With fewer options left, Boyapati has signed her but finally convinced her to agree for Rs 80 lakhs.
Miriyala Ravinder Reddy is producing this movie with an estimated budget of Rs 70 crore, the highest budget in Balakrishna’s career. The other female lead is yet to be finalized.
