Mass Ka Das Vishwaksen grabbed eyeballs with Falaknuma Das, which is based on the Malayalam film Angamaly Diaries. Vishwaksen himself directed Falaknuma Das, and the movie featured Mirzapur fame Harshita Gaur as the female lead. But do you know that Shraddha Srinath was the first choice for the leading lady role?

During the promotions of his new film Mechanic Rocky, Vishwaksen revealed the same. He said, “I spent money and went to Bangalore to narrate her Falaknuma Das’ story. Shraddha turned down that film, but now she is the heroine in Mechanic Rocky. I felt very bad as she declined the offer.”

Vishwaksen added, “I haven’t done Ee Nagaraaniki Emaindi when I approached her. I didn’t have money back then. I felt bad since my travel expenses were of no use. But I am now pleased as he is part of Mechanic Rocky.” This revelation surprised netizens. Mechanic Rocky also stars Meenakshi Chaudhary and will be out in cinemas on November 22nd.
