Kajal previously did Brindavanam with NTR, which was a very good hit. Therefore, director Boyapati Srinu feels that she would fill in the shoes of Shruti for Dammu. There is another heroine slot for this film which has been empty.
Radha's daughter, Josh baby Karthika is in race for that role. Even Hansika is in consideration for it but Karthika may bag it due to the fresh appeal. Hansika starred opposite NTR in Kantri earlier. With Simha up his sleeve, high expectations are riding on Boyapati Srinu for Dammu and he doesn't want to take a chance and has been roping in the best.
