Right now an interesting discussion is happening in Film Nagar about the posters of the upcoming film “Where Is The Venkatalakshmi” featuring Lakshmi Rai alias Raai Laxmi in the lead.

Some say that the posters of this film and Raai’s other film Cinderella are looking like the same. Put that aside, but the interesting part is, how come Raai Laxmi became the leading lady of this project when it is rumored that another hot shot siren will take up the film.

Yes, all these days it was highly publicized that anchor Anasuya is the leading lady of the movie, who will be playing a ghost. But somehow Raai Laxmi ended up on the posters indicating that makers have replaced Anasuya with her. One wonders how come none of Anasuya’s films, where she is supposed to appear as leading lady are fading from news in one way or the other.

Her other films like Sachhindra Gorre and Kadhanam are in the pipeline from a long time. Also, Anasuya will be seen in upcoming biopic movie, Yaatra, that showcases the life and times of late CM YSR.
