With a lot of positive buzz and high expectations, Sankranthiki Vasthunnam, starring Victory Venkatesh, hit theaters yesterday, coinciding with the Pongal festival. Directed by Anil Ravipudi, the film has received great reviews, and its opening-day collections are impressive.

While Venkatesh leads the film, it’s Aishwarya Rajesh’s portrayal of Bhagyalakshmi, Venky’s wife, that has truly resonated with audiences. Her energetic performance added depth and charm to the character. During promotions, Aishwarya revealed that Anil Ravipudi told her 2-3 actresses had turned down the role because it involved playing a mother of four. She also mentioned that Anil had pointed out how those actresses didn’t realize what they were missing. Aishwarya, however, felt grateful for the opportunity, calling it a beautiful gift to bring the character to life.

Now, after watching the movie, many netizens are eager to know which actresses passed on the role. They believe it could have been a career-defining opportunity and are speculating that those who declined may have missed out on something significant. Some even think Anil Ravipudi might reveal the names in a future interview when the time is right.
