Samantha is just not showing interest in signing any projects right now. As per Nagarjuna's words, she even returned her pay check. Her last movie would be 'Janatha Garage'. Shruti haasan is also choosy about her projects and she prefers Bollywood more than South Indian industry.
So right now, all top heroes and producers prefer Rakul Preet Singh. Slowly Rakul Preet is replacing all top heroines. She has already replaced Samantha in Naga Chaitanya's next which will be directed by Kalyan Krishna.
She is now ready to join shooting of Mahesh Babu - AR Murugadoss project too. She replaced Bollywood beauty Parineeti Chopra. She is also the front runner for Pawan Kalyan's next project under Trivikram Srinivas direction. The shooting will begin early next year.
She is also playing opposite Sai Dharam Tej in director BVS Ravi’s “Jawan”. Going by the current rate of projects, Rakul Preet will soon be considered as the hottest heroine in Tollywood. She also delivered two hits this year, moderate hit NTR’s “Nannaku Prematho” and blockbuster “Sarrainodu”.
