After the massive success of Balagam, comedian-turned-director Venu Yeldandi is set to helm his second directorial, Yellamma. However, the film has been in the spotlight due to multiple casting changes.

Initially, Nani was rumoured to play the lead, but after much speculation, Nithiin was officially locked in for the role. The same uncertainty surrounded the female lead, which is a crucial role in the film. Sai Pallavi was widely expected to take it on, and fans were eager to see her in the project. However, the latest reports suggest that she has exited due to scheduling conflicts.

Now, Mahanati star Keerthy Suresh is the latest name linked to the film. Director Venu Yeldandi is said to have narrated the script to her, and she reportedly found the role impressive. However, it remains unclear whether she has officially signed on.
