Sri Divya, who shot to fame with films like Manasara and Mallela Theeram Lo Sirimalle Puvvu in Telugu, has bagged a biggie! The latest we hear is that the actress has been roped in as the lead actress in remake of
Bangalore Days directed by Bommarillu fame Bhaskar.
Apparently, Sri Divya has replaced Samantha, who was the initial choice for the lead actress role. Since
Samantha was a popular face in both the languages the makers had to look for someone with similar credentials and have finally confirmed Sri Divya.
���Post Samantha���s exit, the makers have decided to go for a relatively new face for the leading lady role. They watched Sri Divya���s earlier films Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam and Jeeva in Tamil etc. and were impressed with her performance. Moreover, since the film is being made in Telugu and Tamil, and Sri Divya is a popular face in both the makers, the makers believed that she fits the bill,��� says a source close to the unit.
Sri Divya, who currently has a handful of films, is expected to begin the shooting for the film from March. Meanwhile, the search for Siddharth���s replacement is on.
