Few people have been wondering why did a strong script and character like Queen is finding so much of difficulty to be made in the southern languages. Many attributed it to lack of talented actress on par with Kangana Ranaut in South. Well, that's a topic of dispute for another day but many wondered why Anushka who grew weight and reduced for a film like Zero Size, is not being considered for such a role considering her popularity in South.
Well, before knocking the doors of Tamanna Bhatia, Kajal Aggarwal and others, producer Thyagarajan went with a lucrative offer to Anushka. But Jejemma refused to play the Queen as she was worried about the comparisons of her performance with Kangana and to avoid being trolled or judged in according to her Hindi counterpart, Anushka avoided the movie.
The actress seems to have followed Mahesh Babu's policy of avoiding remakes as they would create a comparison with other actors. We may not see her as Queen but we will surely see her as Bhagmathi and rumours as abuzz that she is cast in Prabhas's Saaho as well.
