After a killed debut in the Telugu film industry with 'Oka Manasu', and in Tamil with 'Oru Nalla Naal Paathu Solren', Niharika Konidela is now on cloud 9 as she has been approached for uncle Chiranjeevi's magnum opus 'Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy'. The film already boasts of an epic star cast including Amitabh Bachchan, Vijay Sethupathi, Nayanthara, Sudeep, and others. While there is no official confirmation, if she agrees, this could be her big break.
Last week, it was reported that the makers are looking for a new girl as the heroine. Director Arumuga Kumar stated that it would be none other than Niharika Konidela, daughter of Chiranjeevi's brother Nagendra Babu. “I got to know Niharika through a friend, met her and felt that she would be suitable for the role. I narrated the story, she liked it a lot and agreed to be on board. It is a very important character for her in the film. We have begun shooting for the past one week and I find Niharika a good choice,” Arumuga said.
He added, “Acting comes quite naturally to her and it appears that it is an innate quality in her. She is not only a beautiful girl, but also is a brilliant performer who works very hard. Despite belonging to a legendary family, she is such simple, down-to-earth person an has absolutely no airs about her.”
