It seems that he considered her for placing beside Prabhas in the film ‘Vishwamitra’ that he planned to do. He did that only on the request of Prabhas. But after seeing her in a dud films like Veera and Dhada, Rajamouli decided to keep her away from consideration.
Well, some say that Rajamouli never considers the track record of hero or heroine to work with. His earlier example in placing Saloni in ‘Maryada Ramanna’ is a straight evidence for that.
No one knows, what made Rajamouli to develop negativism on Kajal but right now her career is in doldrums. She has to pin all her hopes on Puri’s ‘The Businessman’ now.
