Actor Aditi Rao Hydari has asked people to wait for official confirmation that she is starring in Maha Samudram while criticising rumours that she replaced Samantha Akkineni after the latter featured in a flop film.
“I genuinely feel this is important to say... a hit or flop cannot take away the credibility of an actor. Pl Let’s not encourage this kind of thinking. secondly lets give a director/producer the respect to make their announcements in the way that they deem fit. Thank you,” Aditi tweeted.
Aditi had quoted a report that claimed Aditi has replaced Samantha in Ajay Bhupathi’s Maha Samudram opposite Sharwanand. It claimed Samantha and Sharwanand’s last film Jaanu was a flop and hence she was replaced. “The project was to star Samantha and her husband Naga Chaitanya. Naga opted out and Ravi Teja was roped in. Then, Ravi Teja delivered a thundering flop Disco Raja . He was replaced by Sharwanand. Soon after came Jaanu. So now, it’s Aditi Rao Hydari , with Samantha’s blessings, opposite Shawanand in Maha Samudram,” the report quoted a source as saying.
