Okka Manasu might be Niharika Konidela’s debut film. But guess what the role would have gone to either Samantha or Regina if either of them had their calendar free at that time!
Well, that resulted in a search for a new face and eventually Niharika was roped in after director Ramaraju felt she was perfect for the role.
Speaking to a leading English daily, the director shared that the moment he saw Niharika, he saw Sandhya (the name of the female lead of the film) in her.
