It seems Devisri reportedly said “why are you asking me? ask Mahesh and Samantha to reduce”. With this approach, the makers decided to drop Devisri and went for Thaman. The film has Mahesh Babu in the lead while the smiling beauty Samantha is the leading lady. This is directed by Srinu Vaitla.
The cine folks said that it was not very expected from someone like Devisri to do something like that but then it has happened. For now, Thaman is the man for ‘Dookudu’ and he has already got his ‘Brindaavanam’ as the latest entry in the market, this has got many saying if he has become the replacement for Devisri.
