Weighty problems on Rakshita’s hands

  • IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,September 02 2004]

Rakshita, a few days ago we had said in these very same columns, was going places.

But now it turns out that it was only up to the exit gates, that is.

The sprightly girl, who was announced with fanfare as the heroine of S P Entertainment’ Sadaa Mee Sevalo opposite Venu has now been replaced by the hot and happening Shriya.

Tollywood insiders say that Rakshita has been cast aside because of the fact she was overweight. The producers insist that the actress was told to cut down on her avoirdupois but she couldn't manage it when the film went on to the floors.

Ergo, exit Rakshita, arrive Shriya.

Anyway this seems to be a season of replacement in Tollywood. Only a few days ago Nitin was moved aside for Sumanth in a new movie (named 51).

And now it is time for Rakshita to face the fire.

Actually, in her case, the fat is on the fire.
