Ananya Panday lost film opp Thalapthi Vijay 66 due to Aryan drug case

Ananya Panday was the front runner to play opposite Thalapathy in Vijay 66 but the NCB putting her in the suspect list of people connected with drugs trade related to her childhood pal Aryan Khan has made the producer Dil Raju and director Vamshi look for alternative. Ananya is the heroine opposite Vijay Devarakonda - Puri Jagganath film Liger ( a Telugu- Hindif ilm). The film is about boxing and Mike Tyson is to play a role in it. The unit is all set to go to USA to film the scenes with Mike.

Ananya who had done only medium budget  Hindi films struck gold with Liger as  Vijay Devarakonda is a pan South Indian hero with hits like Geetha Govindam, Arjun Reddy, World Famous Lover and the producers are Karan Johar and actress Charmee. Made at a high budget and shot mostly in Mumbai, the film is Vijay's Hindi debut film. The film would launch Ananya in South with a bang.

Puri Jagganath and Charmee had spoken highly of Ananya's work in Liger and producer Dil Raju and director Vamshi were keen to sign her up. Kiara Advani who is working in Ram Charan - Shankar film. and produced by same producer Dil Raju asked Rs 6 crores. Now Vijay 66 team is to take a look at Ketika Sharma who is heroine of  `Romantic' directed by Puri Jagganath who is launching his son Akash as hero. Prabhas who released the trailor in Mumbai spoke highly of her.

Vijay Devarakonda had in his interviews spoke highly about Ananya's dedication. Ananya and Suhana ( sister of Aryan Khan) are thick friends. Aryan- Ananya- Suhana always are seen together and SRK has filmed the trio in many of their family holidays together. Though Aryan and Ananya are said to be in a relationship, both have never been spotted together without Suhana. NCB officials said that Ananya's name figured in other suspects chat list of WhatsApp and not only in Aryan's phone. Ananya appeared before the NCB for questioning.  

Ananya is daughter of actor Chunky Panday.. Incidentally Liger's producer Charmee and director Puri were named by a American drug peddler ash is customers. The case that involved many Tollywood film personalities died down after two years with all being cleared of the drug charges. Tollywood Actors Body MAA intervened and got an assurance from Telangana CM that no arrest will be made.
