Raj Nidimoru shares story changes
Speaking to News18, Raj Nidimoru revealed that the film was earlier about a daughter-in-law finding a place in a newlywed family. The story has some action, he explained, but on a much smaller scale.“There were action scenes, but I wanted to push the envelope. When it expanded into a more action-heavy film, we realized we had a local actor with a variety of skills,” he said.As the story changed and became a larger action film, the producers felt that Samantha’s acting and action skills were the right choice for the lead role.
Samantha revealed earlier Sai Pallavi is the first choice
Samantha also talked about how she became a part of the project during an Instagram Q&A ahead of the film’s release. She revealed that she was not the original choice for the lead role. According to Samantha, the film was originally planned by Sai Pallavi.She said, “I didn’t choose the film, but the film chose me. The idea behind Tralala was to focus on female-led content, so the initial idea for the film was to pitch it to Sai Pallavi Garu. I knew she was busy and didn’t have time. The producer then tweaked the film for me and hopefully Maa Inti Bangaaram will be a success.”The ‘Kush’ actor also tagged Sai Pallavi in her post and said she hopes they can work together in the future under her production banner ‘Tralala’.
