Anushka replaces Parvathi Melton?

Actress Parvathi Melton has been shown the door from Mahesh Babu's next project, to be directed by Trivikram Srinivas. It is rumoured that Anushka, currently busy with the shoot of Prabhas starrer 'Billa', would land the role.

The movie, slated to get on floors on the first week of March, is the first film by the superstar after a gap of more than one year. It is reported that Parvathi has been refusing other offers in the hope that this film would be a turning point in her career.

The reason for her sacking is not immediately known. She is now in USA to attend to her mother who was injured in an accident, our sources report.
