Vedika hikes her rates!

Vedika is the slim and beautiful actress who always looks like the much-improved version of Nagma.

Once in a while, she makes an attempt or two to establish herself in Telugu, but with limited success. Then, when Lawrence Raghava approached her for the Tamil/Telugu bilingual 'Muni', she was only too glad to accept it. The film turned out to be an above-average hit in both the languages.

Meanwhile, Simbu was having problems in finding a heroine for his new film. His ill-reputation when it comes to his female-costars had made many leading heroines nervous about acting with him.

Vedika came forward. But suddenly, her rates have shot up. There are talks that she wants Rs 15 Lakhs to act in the role. It also seems that the team is ready to give her that kind of salary.

Vedika to pair up with Kalyanram

It is well aware that Samudra is producing a film in his own direction with Kalyanram as hero. He chose to remake 'Sivakasi' produced by AM Ratnam in Tamil.

Earlier, it was said that Pawan Kalyan would do that film, after that the names of Stylish Star Allu Arjun and Young Rebel Star Prabhas were made rounds. However, none of them gave nod to the film due to some unavoidable circumstances.

It is now reliably learnt that Kalyanram had accepted to do the film and finalised the deal by signing the dotted line. The film has sentiment within brothers, between brother and sister, besides mother and son in its backdrop, in addition to action.

It is further learnt that Vedika, the heroine of Muni, was asked for dates to play heroine in this film. Music director Srikanth Deva, who gave music to the original version, had agreed to work for the Telugu remake also.

The film is most likely to go to sets in the first week of May.
