Actress Tamannaa who was initially considered to play Shraddha Kapoor's role in the Telugu version of Bollywood hit Aashiqui 2 has been replaced by Ankita Shorey.
"The casting happened after weeks of intense negotiation with Tamanna, who apparently asked for an astronomical amount to act in the film," said the sources.
Finally, the role has gone to former beauty queen Ankita Shorey.
Confirming the same, Sachin said: "I felt a newcomer would fit the bill better. The role required someone innocent and unspoilt. Ankita Shorey is perfect for the part. Just as Shraddha Kapoor was in the Hindi version."
Ankita has been asked to stay away from viewing Shraddha's performance.
"We want her to interpret the role in her own way," Sachin said.
The Telugu version of "Aashiqui 2" would have a happy ending
