The visuals of “Mahanati” are creating a storm at the moment as director Nag Ashwin perfectly reflected the vintage looks through his vision. And Keerthi Suresh is also convincing in the role of legendary actress Savitri. But she’s not the first choice for the role.
When the news of this biopic broke out, many felt that a Telugu girl should do the role as that happens to be Savitri’s role. That may not be a right demand, because we’re the country that watched Hollywood actor Ben Kingsley playing Mahatma Gandhi on the silver screen. So, naturally, our makers went for other tinsel towns for best actors.
The first pick for Mahanati is none other than Nitya Menon and her presence would have surely created more intensity and hype for the project. However, she lost the role as she doesn’t want to cut the fab. Yes, director Nag Ashwini is said to have asked her to slim down a bit to suit the role, but she doesn’t want to lose weight.
Generally, heroines feel unhappy when directors/producers ask them to put weight but that will not be true in the converse. Nitya Menon has, however, no qualms about losing the role and she has earlier said that ‘dates’ issue didn’t allow her to pick this Mahanati.
