Hip Beauty Facing The Curse Of Bunny

As reported earlier, Allu Arjun was not interested to share screen space with hip beauty Ileana, who charges hepty pay package and doesn't cares for promotion of the film.

Initially, when Trivikram approached Ileana for the female lead role in Allu Arjun's film. The actress quoted a remuneration of Rs 1.25 crores, a BMW to travel and additional expenses of 25-30 lakhs. After coming to know about this, Allu Arjun insisted Trivikram to drop Ileana, as she is not a No. 1 heroine in Tollywood anymore after delivering the duds like Saleem', 'Rechipo', 'Shakti' and 'Nenu Naa Rakshasi'.

Knowing that the makers are looking for her replacement, Ileana has cut down her pay package. She got ready to do the film for Rs 1 crore. But, that didn't help Ileana, as Allu Arjun is firm on his decision to replace her. He asked Trivikram to consider Samantha, citing the reasons that their pair would look good onscreen and the less pay package of the actress. The official announcement of casting Samantha may deliver in a couple days, depending upon the availability of her callsheets.
