In the cinematic world, where plots twist and turn like a river, the role of a heroine can often be as unpredictable as the weather. Just as a storm can disrupt a journey, so too can a heroine’s departure throw a film into chaos. And in recent times, this cinematic tempest has become a recurring phenomenon.
Pooja Hegde, once set to star in Mahesh Babu’s ‘Guntur Kaaram’, was replaced by Sreeleela after a brief stint on set. Now, another heroine has faced a similar fate. Shruthi Haasan, initially cast in Adivi Sesh’s ‘Dacoit’, has reportedly exited the project due to differences over her role and the production house.
However, the show must go on. The makers of ‘Dacoit’ have wasted no time in securing a replacement. A highly popular heroine has been brought on board to take over the lead role. Her name is expected to be announced in the coming week. The departure of Shruthi Haasan means that all her previously filmed scenes will have to be scrapped.
The new heroine will join Sesh on set to shoot her portions from scratch. Directed by Shaniel Deo, ‘Dacoit’ is shaping up to be a grand spectacle. As we eagerly await the announcement of the new heroine, one can’t help but wonder: Will this trend of heroine replacements continue to plague the film industry?
