Talk:Bootcut Balaraju

Ananya Nagalla appearance?

Two sources are cited that say that Ananya Nagalla is to appear in the film. Milli's Boy has removed her from the article with the explanation Removed Ananya Nagalla has she is not part of the film (Hero of the film confirmed this in latest film Promotional Interview), but does not include a link to any film promotional interview where we can verify. Milli's Boy or anyone else, can you provide a link here to a reliable source to verify that she is not to appear in the film? That would be helpful so that if, in the future, editors add her back to the article, then we can point to this discussion to show why she should not be listed. Thanks.  — Archer1234 (t·c) 17:19, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Ananya Nagalla was initially selected as the first choice for the female lead in the film. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, she was subsequently replaced by "Meghalekha" before the commencement of filming. This information was disclosed by the Hero of the film Sohel during a film promotional interview.

Here is the Interview link Note - The Interview is in Telugu language.

Furthermore, IMDb and book my show did not list "Ananya Nagalla" as part of the cast for the film.Bootcut Balaraju at IMDb Milli's Boy (talk) 17:36, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

@Milli's Boy. Thanks. We don't rely on IMDb as it is unreliable (see WP:IMDB), so what they report or do not report is of no consequence. But the link to the YouTube vide of the interview is helpful. Can you provide the time during the video interview at which the disclosure is made? That will be very helpful.

Also, I wonder if this development is noteworthy enough to earn a sentence or two in the "Production" section as casting decisions are sometimes interesting to note. I defer to others on whether that is worth including or not. Thanks.  — Archer1234 (t·c) 17:48, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

The disclosure is made 59:48 sec - 1:00:47 sec Milli's Boy (talk) 17:58, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
