Leading Tamil-Telugu actress Tamannaah's dad condemned the rumours claiming that Tamannaah has been replaced by Kannada actress Akshara in Mahesh Babu's next film to be directed by Sukumar. It was recently said that the actress turned down the offer owing to date issues.
 
Tamannaah's father said that Tamannaah is still considering the offer and the issue of dates is being discussed and fixed in a week's time. "We will get a clear picture in a couple of days and allot dates accordingly," he added.
 
This proposed film was formally launched on February 12 at Ramanaidu Studios in Hyderabad. Producers Anil Sunkara, Ram Achanta, Gopichand Achanta are making the film under the banner 14 Reels Entertainment. The regular shooting will start in March last week.
