Looks like Hansika Motwani's loss is Tamannaah Bhatia's gain. The former has been replaced by the latter in the movie 'Bhale Thammudu', starring Andrea Jeremiah, Sunil and Naga Chaitanya.

A remake of the Tamil hit 'Vettai', 'Bhale Thammudu' is an action entertainer loaded with commercial elements. The lead roles were played in the original version by R. Madhavan and Arya.

"Initially Andrea Jeremiah and Hansika Motwani were roped in to play the leads, which were enacted by Sameera Reddy and Amala Paul in the original version", sources say.

They further added, "However, Andrea has been retained, while Hansika has been replaced by Tamannaah. The reason is unknown. The makers are keen to release the movie by the end of this year or by the beginning of 2013."
