We recently reported that Gunasekhar had finalized his script and that he won't be doing a film with newcomers as he had contemplated earlier. With a ready script in hand, he said he would rather make it with a leading hero.
So there was speculation that Chiranjeevi would be playing the leading man. But now, 'Okka Magadu' Balakrishna is said to have been approached by the director.
Gunasekhar who has a flop in 'Sainikudu' behind him is said to have held parleys with Balaiah, once he had completed the shooting for 'Okka Magadu'.
Surprisingly, Balakrishna is quite sought after these days, thanks to all the hype behind aOkka Magadu'.
