Nushrratt Bharuccha in Chatrapathi remake
The search for the leading lady in the Hindi remake of Chatrapathi is finally over! Nushrratt Bharuccha will play the love interest of Bellamkonda Srinivas in the action drama. The film was launched in July in Hyderabad.
Director V. V. Vinayak zeroed in on Nushrratt after seeing her performance in films like Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety. He believed that the onscreen chemistry of the couple would be good. When Nushrratt was approached, she felt it was an interesting project that fits into her current schedule.
A source close to the development says, “Nushrratt watched the original film Chatrapati (2005) and wanted to be part the super-hit action drama. She felt a film like this would portray her as a commercial actress and give her an opportunity to tread uncharted territory.” The actress had shot for a couple of days in one of the earlier schedules of the film, but the makers had kept her name under wraps.
