Aishwarya Rajesh, who was last seen in Vijay Sethupathi’s Ka Pae Ranasingam, has replaced Nivetha Pethuraj in Sai Dharam Tej’s upcoming Telugu film.
According to reports, the makers of the film narrated the script over a phone call and convinced her to be a part of the project a week before the shoot. The actress will play Sai Dharam Tej’s love interest, a role that was initially written for Nivetha Pethuraj.
Directed by Deva Katta, the film is touted to be a socio-political drama. The script of the film is loosely based on incidents that happened in Eluru in 2004. Ramya Krishnan will be seen essaying the role of a Chief Minister in the film.
There are speculations that the film has been titled Republic.
