If it has been Gautham’s loss, it has been Mohan Babu’s gain. Yes, Shobana, basking in the popularity of the Padmashree award was widely reported to be acting in director Gautham Menon’s next Tamil film. However, she eased out of the project and Tabu is the leading lady now. She refused to divulge details. She simply said that she had no hard feelings and did not act in the film because of date problems. She is however going great guns in Telugu pairing with popular actor, Mohan Babu under the Laxmi Prasanna Productions banner. Her other two films with Mohan Babu, Rowdygari Pellam and Alludugaru were superhits. Ramprasad would be the director of the new film which goes on the floors shortly.
