Vedhika, Meenakshi Dixit and for Banik for Nagarjuna Bangarraju

 Nagarjuna super hit Soggade Chinni Nayana sequel movie "Bangarraju"

has Chaitanya as another lead, and accordingly rest of the cast is being changed.

While Uppena fame Kriti Shetty is being paired opposite Naga Chaitanya, for now, a heroine is not fixed opposite Nagarjuna. 

However, Ramya Krishna will be seen as his wife, while three hotties are aboard to play the roles of apsarasalu in the film.

To be called Rambha, Urvasi and Menaka, we hear that heroine Vedhika, Dookudu fame item girl Meenakshi Dixit and Bengali beauty Darshana Banik are roped for these three characters. While they have short roles in the movie, a couple of songs featuring the three of them are going to be a highlight.

While director Kalyan Krishna Kurasala is said to have come up with an interesting story, he’s packing the right commercial masala ingredients to make sure that Nagarjuna will score his much-needed hit as a successful was eluding him for some time. Adding one more heroine as a leading lady to Nagarjuna is still pending, while the already added glamour treat is going to be huge for sure.

Samantha’s Absence At Nag’s Special Lunch

 Yester day King Nagarjuna Celebrated his birthday with her Family Members wife Naga chaitanya and Akhil and other Family Members.

Samantha was not in the party , Of course, the actress is in Pondicherry shooting for her upcoming Tamil film under Vignesh Shivan’s direction, but then, flying here for a lunch and returning back in the night would have not been a big deal. Why didn’t Samantha chose to come? That question is now giving rise to many doubts including that she might have got distanced from Chaitanya already, and is not reconciling with him any sooner.

All said and done, Samantha is quite busy other day, promoting her own brand Saaki, sharing good things about her personal makeup woman and else, but she hasn’t taken part in Nag’s birthday celebrations.
