Ananthika Sanilkumar is reportedly being considered for Yellamma, Dil Raju’s upcoming production, which marks music composer Devi Sri Prasad’s debut as a hero.
According to our M9 inside sources, Ananthika recently took part in a test shoot for the film. According to sources, the team was impressed with her look and screen presence. However, there is reportedly one major issue. Devi Sri Prasad is said to be not fully convinced about casting her.
Ananthika is currently one of the promising young actresses to watch out for. She gained attention with her performance in 8 Vasantalu. Although the film did not perform well at the box office, her performance received appreciation, and she developed a good reputation for her acting skills and relatable beauty. The film also became a talking point on social media due to certain controversies.
Her talent reportedly caught the attention of Sandeep Reddy Vanga as well. He has cast her in his upcoming production film Romanchakam, which is scheduled to release on September 3.
That has added more interest to her possible casting in Yellamma. The actress has been steadily building opportunities despite not having a genuine commercial success yet.
However, the latest buzz suggests that her casting in Yellamma is far from confirmed. While the makers are reportedly impressed with her, Devi Sri Prasad’s opinion could play an important role in the final decision.
This now leaves the team with a choice. Will the makers go ahead with Ananthika despite Devi Sri Prasad’s reservations, or will they respect his opinion and search for another actress?
For now, Ananthika clearly seems to have made an impression during the test shoot, but whether that will be enough to land her the role in Yellamma remains to be seen.
