Shraddha Das in Sai DharmaTej's Rey

Shraddha Das has signed YVS Chowdary’s upcoming film Rey. The shooting of the film had started long ago with Sai Dharam Tej and Shubra Aiyappa in lead roles. Initially Amruta Patki was supposed to play one of the two lead roles opposite Sai Dharam Tej; however, she has been replaced by Shraddha Das.

A visibly excited Shraddha Das tweeted about this latest development saying that she’s going to play a popstar’s role in the film and it’s also a full fledged role after a long time in her career. A photoshoot is being shot on Shraddha for the film. The film is going to be majorly shot in US and already the film unit had completed some portions in US. Few weeks ago, Sai Dharam Tej injured himself while performing a stunt scene for the film in US due to which the shooting was called till he recovers. YVS Chowdary is directing and producing the film. It’s being touted as a romantic musical and the film is going to hit the screens in summer, 2012.

Chiranjeevi’s nephew Sai Dharam Tej Injured

Tollywood Mega star Chiranjeevi’s nephew Sai Dharam Tej is debuting into Tollywood with the film Rey. Presently the film shooting is progressing in USA. Now the latest news is that Sai Dharam Tej got injured on the sets while shooting for the film in USA. Hence the shooting of the film stalled.

The sources close to Rey team revealed that doctors have advised Sai Dharam a one month rest. Hence Rey team had to return to India as this is the only choice they left with. They might resume the shooting after one month.

Ram Charan sacrifice for Sai Dharam

A combination of ramcharan & Karunakaran was on the lines from a very long time after the happening of ‘Chirutha’ and ‘Magadheera.’ Till now, the time hasn’t ripened for it. Master of sensitive love angles is Karunakaran desperate to do a movie with Mega compound hero like Cherry. He is known to have approached ramcharan with a story line similar to popular Bollywood movie ‘Rock On’ that would give scope for a multi starrer with young hero Sarwanand. Unfortunately, by the same time YVS Chowdary has begun the movie ‘Rey’ with Sai Dharam Teja which has same mix of love and musical backdrop as basic story line. This made Mega compound elders to put a temporary break on Karunakaran’s project by one or two years till Charan comes back from Sampat Nandi and VV Vinayak (mostly). Unable to wait such long time, Karunakaran is known to have modified the basic story line for hero Ram and Tamanna to start ‘Endukante Premanta’ which is presently progressing on a foreign schedule.  On the other side, there is also an insider report that Karunakaran has two more romantic and gripping story lines on which he will work on, once Cherry gets free by end of this year. Surely this is a rare sacrifice from ramcharan for the sake of Sai Dharam because Karunakaran is one of the favorite directors for Cherry with whom he is dying to work for.
