Actress-singer Shruti Haasan will no more be playing the lead in the upcoming Pawan Kalyan starrer Gabbar Singh, a Telugu remake of Bollywood blockbuster Dabangg.
The producers signed Ileana for the lead role. �Yes, we have been approached and we are trying to accommodate the project since it’s a big budget film but nothing is confirmed yet,� a source close to the actress said.
According to reports, the makers approached Ileana on the sets of another Telugu film, starring Allu Arjun. The filming of Gabbar Singh, directed by Harish Shankar, will begin this December.
