“To be honest, Vijay wasn’t excited to do a Tamil film because, at that point, he signed five to six films in Telugu and people in the industry also told me that he is very choosy about his projects. Gnanavel sir actually set an appointment for me with Vijay." Audiences here in Tamil enjoy watching Telugu films so I thought why not make a straight Tamil film with Vijay Devarakonda? Not many producers were willing to bankroll films with an unknown hero but Gnanavel understood and predicted that Vijay will become a big star in both Tamil and Telugu. Only then, I decided to launch him in Tamil because these days there is no big wall between Kollywood and Tollywood. Coincidentally, I happened to watch Arjun Reddy in theaters and later saw Vijay’s Pelli Choopulu and was stunned by his versatile performance in these two films.

The film’s director Anand Shankar started his speech by saying, “Once I locked the script of NOTA with my writer Shan, we knew that the film needed a performance-oriented hero and at the same time, he should not be worried much about other senior actors who have important roles in the film. Actress Sanam Shetty, Nisha Ganesh, Aishwarya Dutta and many others asked her to come back stronger.Vijay Devarakonda in a promotional still from NOTA. Thankyou doctors for taking care of me so well." Many celebrities and fans poured love on the post and extended their prayers for her full recovery. 95 days of hope, prayers and strong will!! Hope to get back stronger on my feet without any support. Taking to Instagram to post a video of her taking 'baby steps', she wrote, "Baby steps. More than three months after her accident, Yashika has now started to walk. The 'NOTA' fame actress, who had undergone several surgeries in various parts of her body after the accident, showed the number of stitches she had on her body while replacing the bandages a few weeks back.

In her first post after she regained consciousness and learnt about her friend's death, she said that she "will be forever guilty to be alive." She also stated that she is really sorry and that she misses her every second.Įarlier in August, in a heartwrenching post, she said that she won't be able to walk or stand for the next five months due to multiple fractures. She lost her friend Pavani Velicheti as she died on the spot of the mishap. The accident occurred at midnight near Sulerikadu on ECR as they were returning from Mamallapuram to Chennai.
