It was earlier reported that Kollywood lass Nayanthara would play the female lead opposite Sudeep in the Shashank directorial Bachchan. But it looks like the Super actor will not be part of the film. Nayanthara has opted out of the project citing the 'dates didn't work out' excuse. And now, the director has roped in Malayalam actor Bhavana to replace Nayan.

‘Eega’, ace director S.S.Rajamouli’s most eagerly awaited graphical extravaganza, is currently in extensive post production mode. Sources say that the film will be hitting the screens only in the month of July,

possibly in the first week. Rajamouli is taking this project extremely prestigiously and he is working very hard to make the VFX top class.

The extensive VFX work is causing the delay in the film’s release but the production team is confident that the delay is worth it. Because of the national level attention the project has now attained, the makers do not want to take any chances.

Music has been scored by M.M.Keeravani and the film has Samantha,Nani and Sudeep in the lead roles.

‘Eega’ will be released in Tamil and Kannada along with Telugu.
