A major casting shift has reportedly occurred in the highly anticipated biopic of legendary singer M.S. Subbulakshmi.
Reports suggest that Rukmini Vasanth has officially replaced Sai Pallavi as the leading lady for the project.
Directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, the film is set to explore the life and spiritual journey of the Bharat Ratna awardee.
While Sai Pallavi was the initial choice, sources indicate that her packed schedule for ‘Kalki 2’ and her project with Mari Selvaraj led to her stepping away.
Rukmini Vasanth has already begun specialized training to capture the nuances of the legendary Carnatic vocalist’s persona.
