We know there is a shortage of leading ladies in Tollywood currently. Many well known actors are finding it hard to sign on actresses who will do justice to their films. With criteria ranging from fresh face to fresh pairing, the search has not become any easier. Still, rumors suggest that Pawan Kalyan may have found his heroine before Mahesh Babu did.

Both Powerstar and Prince Mahesh are eagerly looking out for a leading lady for their movies Gabbar Singh 2 and Aagadu respectively. Though many names, including Deepika Padukone, did the rounds no one was confirmed. Reasons such as dates and remuneration were cited. Like a white clad figure out of the morning haze, the name of Pranitha is making an appearance.

Buzz is that Pranitha's chemistry with Pawan Kalyan is good enough to make her his next Bhagyalakshmi. The original Bhagyalakshmi, Shruti Hassan, will not be seen in the next Gabbar Singh.  If she is signed on, those who liked her opposite Powerstar in Atarintiki Daredi can look forward to more such spice.

For Mahesh, however, the search has not yet yielded any proper choices. Rumor has it that he plays a cop again in Aagadu, the shooting of which will begin after he completes 1 Nenokkadine. He is presently paired opposite Kriti Sanon. His earlier cop acts in Pokiri and Dookudu were well appreciated and Prince Mahesh wants to begin the shooting for Aagadu at the earliest.
