Why Nag Rejected Ileana?

Reports are making rounds that in the film ‘Manam’ starring the Akkineni trio, Shriya has been roped in as the leading lady for Nagarjuna. It is heard that before Shriya, Ileana was into consideration by the makers. But why Ileana’s place was given to Shriya was revealed after some investigation.
 
According to sources, Ileana had reportedly demanded a whopping Rs 1 crore as remuneration for pairing up with Nagarjuna. Buzz is that Nag got into thinking what is the point in spending one crore on Ileana who is totally out of form in Tollywood so he voted for Shriya.
 
Moreover, both Nag and Shriya have worked before so their understanding and comfort level is much easier and smooth. The filmnagar folks say Nag thought about all these parameters and then decided that Shriya is a better choice than Ileana. This is definitely a welcome break for Shriya so hope she makes the best use of it.
