&nbsp;Sai Pallavi had a forgettable debut in Bollywood with Aamir Khan's son Junaid Khan's romantic entertainer Ek Din. The film turned out to be a disaster. She is currently starring in the role of Goddess Sita in Ranbir Kapoor-Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana.However, apart from it, Sai Pallavi is yet to sign any project and what is surprising all is she is not doing Telugu projects. Though rumours have it that she will be playing a key role in Prabhas' Nag Ashwin's Kalki 2898AD sequel, it is not confirmed.She even rejected projects like Yellamma and Maa Inti Bangaram. A source shares “She believes in choosing roles that offer substance and scope for performance rather than signing films in a hurry.”The source added "Although her recent Telugu outing Thandel did not emerge as a massive box-office success, Sai Pallavi earned praise for her heartfelt portrayal and once again demonstrated her ability to connect with audiences through realistic performances. Trade observers feel that signing one or two strong Telugu projects in the coming years could further strengthen her presence in the market."The source continued "Widely regarded as one of the most accomplished natural performers in Indian cinema, Sai Pallavi has built her career on content-driven films and performance-oriented characters. Unlike many contemporaries, she has consistently stayed away from glamour-centric roles, choosing scripts that resonate with her artistic sensibilities." &nbsp;
