Meenakshi Chaudhary confirmed as female lead in Nani’s Bloody Romeo
The Story in Brief
Tracktollywood.com reports that Meenakshi Chaudhary has been finalised as the female lead opposite Nani in the upcoming film Bloody Romeo, directed by Sujeeth, following a look test. The film, described as a pan-Indian action entertainer, is produced by Venkat Boyanapalli under Niharika Entertainment and Unanimous Productions. An animated promo released in February introduced Nani as a 'No. 1 chef and gangster.' Malayalam star Prithviraj Sukumaran will play a key role.
Telugu360.com and 123telugu.com had earlier reported that Meenakshi was in talks but not officially confirmed. 123telugu.com noted that some Nani fans have expressed preferences for Bhagyashri Borse, Mamitha Baiju and Wamiqa Gabbi on social media. M9.news listed Triptii Dimri, Priyanka Mohan, Meenakshi Chaudhary and Pooja Hegde among names being speculated for the role. The makers are yet to issue an official announcement, though tracktollywood.com says the choice has been finalised. Shooting is expected to begin from the second week of October, with a Delhi schedule and a London shoot planned later. The film is slated for a summer 2027 release.
Update, 1 October 2026: Tracktollywood.com now reports that Meenakshi Chaudhary has been finalised as the female lead after a look test, moving beyond the earlier buzz that she was only in talks. Telugucinema.com adds that shooting will begin with a massive schedule, without naming the lead. The earlier reports of fan preferences and multiple contenders are now superseded by the finalisation report, though no official announcement has been made.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The casting speculation is now settled by tracktollywood.com’s report that Meenakshi Chaudhary has passed a look test and been finalised, while telugu360.com and 123telugu.com remain at the ‘in talks’ stage, and m9.news keeps the field open with four contenders. The difference is that the newer sources have moved from speculation to a concrete decision, though none of the five carries an official statement from the makers. Telugucinema.com, the most recent source, focuses on the start of shooting rather than the casting itself. The only open point is the official announcement, which tracktollywood.com suggests is pending.
