Devi Sri Prasad Acting Debut With Yellamma

Devi Sri Prasad, the renowned music composer, is reportedly all set to make his acting debut in the upcoming film "Yellamma," directed by Venu Yeldandi. The film, produced by Dil Raju under the Sri Venkateswara Creations banner, has been stuck in development hell due to the lead role being unfinalized.

Initially, Nani and Nithiin were considered for the role, but both actors couldn't make it due to scheduling conflicts. Other actors like Sharwanand and Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas were also rumored to be in the running, but Devi Sri Prasad is now said to be the top contender for the lead role.

If confirmed, "Yellamma" would mark a significant milestone in Devi Sri Prasad's two decade long musical career, as he ventures into acting for the first time as a lead actor. The film is expected to be a musical social drama rooted in a Telangana community. Director Venu Yeldandi, known for his emotionally grounded storytelling in "Balagam," is expected to bring his unique touch to "Yellamma." With a budget of around ₹70 crores, the film is likely to be a grand affair.

The news of Devi Sri Prasad's acting debut has generated significant buzz online, with fans eagerly awaiting the official announcement. If the reports are true, this could be a game changer for the music industry, as one of its most celebrated composers takes on a new role.
