Dancer Imanvi Chooses Prabhas Film Over Sudigali Sudheer's Offer, Surprising Fans

Prabhas recently started a new movie under the direction of Hanu Raghavapudi, which is currently in the shooting phase. Dancer Imanvi, who gained popularity on social media for her impressive dance videos, especially on YouTube, has been cast as the heroine in this film. Her selection as the female lead in a Prabhas movie, despite being new to acting, has surprised many and is seen as a stroke of luck.

Before Hanu Raghavapudi cast her, it’s said that Sudigali Sudheer had already tried to bring Imanvi on board as the heroine for his own film. Recently, Getup Srinu mentioned on a show that Sudheer had considered casting this talented girl after seeing her dance reels on social media, thinking she’d be a good fit. Sudheer’s team contacted her and even tried to convince her to play the heroine, but they were unsuccessful. When Srinu later heard she was cast in Prabhas’ film, he was surprised.

Many netizens speculate that Imanvi might have turned down Sudheer's film in favor of working with a bigger star like Prabhas. Meanwhile, Tamil actress Divya Bharathi is set to play the lead in Sudheer's upcoming film Goat.
