Nayantara forced to turns down movie offer

She was one of the most sought-after actresses for a long time and then she dropped the bomb about quitting films altogether. Post the release of Simha in 2010, Nayanthara didn’t sign a single Telugu film for a very long time and finally agreed to play the role of Seetha in Bapu’s mythological film Sri Rama Rajyam. 

Though she had claimed that the devotional film Sri Rama Rajyam would be her swan song, Nayantara was all geared up to do the power-packed role. The problem was fiancé Prabhu Deva’s deadline.

Nayantara had reportedly held parleys with producer Konda Krishnam Raju and even allotted 60 days from November 1 to December 31 as she was totally hooked by the well-defined role and the hefty pay packet of ` 1.3 crore. “In fact, she personally clarified a few doubts in the script and was preparing to portray the multifaceted role to showcase her acting repertoire. 

Unfortunately, the producer was unable to start shooting and requested for fresh dates in January and February but Prabhu asked her to decline,” says a source in the crew. Prabhu Deva has apparently chalked out a roadmap for their marriage in January 2012 as advised by an astrologer and insisted that she wind up her tinsel town work by December 31, 2011.
