Sentiment in the Industry



There is a sentiment in the industry that if a heroine once selected and later on rejected by a big director / producer, if cast in some other movie will be a big heroine. This happened with Ramyakrishna, Rambha and more recently Ileana who was the first choice in Dhairyam opposite Nitin. She was replaced by Raima Sen.

Mamata Mohan Das, who is already making waves through her singing is supposed to be next big thing in the Tollywood. She sang Rakhi Rakhi in Rakhi, Muppi Aaru in Jagadam, Aaakalesthey in Shankar Dada Zindabad and Olammi Tikka Reginda in Yama Donga.

Mamata Mohan Das was selected as the heroin for Aata when the movie was to be filmed with Harish Shankar’s story. (Refer to my post). She was officially the heroin when the movie was launched. Then she was replaced by Ileana. She was also taken in for Nagarjuna’s Don. For unknown reasons, she was replaced by Anushka. Finally she is pairing with NTR Jr. in one of the most anticipated movies of the year Yama Donga.

Will she also make it big on the screen as the industry’s sentiment ? I guess we just have to wait and see.
