Samantha Ruth Prabhu is preparing for the release of her upcoming action comedy drama, 'Maa Inti Bangaaram'. In a recent revelation, the actress shared intriguing details about the film's inception, disclosing that the makers initially planned to cast Sai Pallavi in the lead role.
Sai Pallavi Was the First Choice
During a Q&A session on Instagram, Samantha Ruth Prabhu disclosed that she was not the original choice for the lead role. The film was first envisioned with Sai Pallavi in mind. Recounting the story behind the project, Samantha said, "I didn't choose this movie, but this movie chose me. The idea behind Tralala is to focus on female-led content, so the initial idea for this film was to pitch it to Sai Pallavi garu. I knew she was very busy and didn't have the time. Then the makers tweaked the film for me, and hopefully Maa Inti Bangaaram works."
The 'Citadel: Honey Bunny' actress also tagged Sai Pallavi in her post and expressed hope to collaborate with her in the future through her production banner.
