On the one hand, Rana and Ileana starrer, ‘Nenu Naa Rakshasi’ directed by Puri Jagannath and produced by Nallamalupu Srinivas (Bujji) shooting is on a steady progress. On the other hand, Gautham Menon is making brisk preparations for his next project which would be a romantic entertainer.

The latest buzz is that Samanta of ‘Ye Maaya Chesave’-fame was roped in as heroine opposite Rana and the project will kickstart soon.

It is not know how the director had accepted as heroine as Rana would be too long while Samanta had an average height and they may not be a great combination if we observe them invididually.

Samanta also got an offer to play heroine opposite Ajit again in Gautham’s direction.
