Former
national player and the well known actress Prachi Tehlan, who is going to make
a debut with Malayalam cinema superstar Mammootty, has an interesting story of
Mamangam, the first mega budget film of her career. She is playing the lead
character in the film Mamangam and since the release of the first graphical
trailer of the film, there has been a growing interest in the Hindi audience.
According
to a published story on Amar Ujala, a few sources reveal that makers of the
film had earlier approached South's famous actress Anushka Shetty for the
female lead role. Both of the films of Anushka's Bahubali series had become
hits by that time and had become a well-known figure in the north region too.
However, Anushka wanted to do a light-hearted film after doing two period
films, so she refused Mamangam's offer and started shooting for her next film
Silence with R. Madhavan.
On
the other hand, after Anushka Shetty's debut, the makers of the movie Mamangam
decided to launch a new face with Mammootty instead of going to another big
heroine and the film's production team came and camped in Mumbai. Sources
associated with the casting of the film Mamangam reveal that auditions for this
role were given to all the actresses in Mumbai and Prachi Tehlan's name was
final among them. Sources also shared details of how long Prachi prepped for
this role before shooting the film.
Venu
Kunappilli, the producer of the film Mamangam, recently held a special program
for Malayalam film buffs on the film's set, where Prachi was also specially
invited. The first poster of Prachi's Looks has been released and since its
release, there have been reports of some big producers of Hindi cinema
contacting Prachi as well.
