Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy is undoubtedly one of the biggest projects in Tollywood with a huge star cast. Starring mega star Chiranjeevi in the titlular role, it is a biopic on the legendary freedom fighter Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy.

According to latest reports, Anushka Shetty has been approached for a small but meaty role in the film. The actor is yet to give her assent and the filmmakers are waiting for her nod. Sources from the production unit told Cinemaexpress, “Anushka seems to be in no hurry and if she won’t decide on the film in a week’s time, the team will initiate deliberations with another popular south Indian actor.”

In case Anushka is not able to hop on board this ambitious project, it will go to another top heroine, whose name is yet to be revealed, say sources.

We hear that Anushka, if signed up, will also be introducing the lead character Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy through a narration. The Sye Raa team is currently stationed in Kerala where the last leg of shooting is happening.

Sye Raa is being bankrolled by Ram Charan Teja under his home banner Konidela Production Company on a budget of Rs 200 crore and directed by Surendar Reddy. It has a bevy of stars from different film industries including Amitabh Bachchan who will be seen making a guest appearance as Gosayi Venkanna. Apparently, he plays Uyyalalwada Narasimha’s mentor in the film.

The others in the star cast are Vijay Sethupathi, Nayanthara, Tamannaah, Jagapathi Babu, Kiccha Sudeep, Pragya Jaiswal and Brahmaji. R. Rathnavelu is the cameraman for this film, with A Sreekar Prasad editing it and Amit Trivedi wielding the music baton. It is a trilingual that will be released in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi.

Meanwhile, Anushka is now all set to star in a film based on Lord Ayyappa. This prestigious project will be directed by cinematographer-director Santosh Sivan and bankrolled by Gokulam Gopalan under his banner Sree Gokulam Films. The project is touted to be a multi-lingual, set for release in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Hindi. To be scripted by Prashanth, the film is currently in the pre-production mode.

She also has Silence, a cross-over film which has R Madhavan playing the male lead. Helmed by Hemant Madhukar, the film will be predominately shot in the USA.
