Parineeti Chopra's Tollywood start opposite Mahesh Babu may be on the rocks.
Parineeti Chopra’s Tollywood debut may be on hold, as sources are saying that Rakul Preet Singh may take her place in the upcoming Mahesh Babu film, that’s being directed by A.R. Murugudoss.
The shoot for the film is set to start from July 29, but a source close to the makers say that they are still unsure about Parineeti as the female lead. “The film is a bilingual made in Telugu and Tamil, so the director wants a Telugu speaking girl. They approached Rakul a couple of days ago and asked her to keep her dates free for this film,” says the source.

On the other hand, another source from the unit says, “The film’s shoot was supposed to start in June, but was delayed for some reason. If Parineeti can’t adjust her dates, Rakul may bag the role.” The producers have set a deadline for Saturday evening to confirm the casting.
