Vijay Deverakonda to act with Rashmika Mandanna for the third time?

HYDERABAD: Vijay Deverakonda is currently involved in the shooting of 'Family Star' directed by Parasuram Petla and produced by Dil Raju. The film is scheduled to be released during the upcoming Sankranti festival.

However, Vijay Deverakonda is eager to complete this project and move on to his next venture, 'VD12,' directed by Gautam Tinnanuri. While Sreeleela was initially announced as the female lead for 'VD12,' the latest information suggests that Rashmika Mandanna has been cast in the lead role.

This will mark the third collaboration between Vijay Devarakonda and Rashmika Mandanna, following their roles in 'Geetha Govindam' and 'Dear Comrade.' Interestingly, there have been rumors about their real-life relationship, which has generated significant interest among their fans.

Additionally, there have been reports that Sreeleela has been replaced in 'VD12,' with Sakshi Vaidya potentially taking her place as the second female lead.

Since the shooting schedule for 'VD12' might be slightly delayed due to Vijay Deverakonda's commitment to 'Family Star,' Sreeleela may take a brief hiatus for her MBBS exams. During this time, Sakshi Vaidya is expected to join the cast.

There hasn't been an official confirmation from the film's makers regarding these casting changes.
