Director Sai Rajesh, known for his bold storytelling, initially planned a new film with the “Baby” lead pair—Anand Deverakonda and Vaishnavi Chaitanya. The project gained attention after its formal launch in 2023, especially with a striking announcement poster featuring Anand and Vaishnavi in an emotional scene. Fans were eager for another blockbuster from this duo.
However, production delays stalled the project. Recent reports now confirm a significant shift: Kiran Abbavaram has replaced Anand as the male lead. Riding high on the success of his recent film “Ka”, Kiran’s entry has generated fresh buzz. Meanwhile, sources reveal that Vaishnavi Chaitanya has also exited the project, and the team is currently searching for a new female lead.
This decision likely stems from Sai Rajesh’s desire to explore new dynamics and avoid repetition. Despite the rumors, producers SKN and Sai Rajesh have yet to issue an official statement regarding the replacements.
