Tamannaah who made a disastrous Hindi debut in Himmatwala has lost the chance to play Shraddha Kapoor's role in the Telugu version of Mohit Suri's Aashiqui 2.

The casting happened after weeks of intense negotiation with Tamannaah who apparently, asked for an astronomical amount of money to act in the film.

Says a source, `There were problems with Tamannaah from the word go. Not only was she asking for an unreasonable amount of money she was also not the film's co-producer and leading man Sachin Joshi's choice.`

Finally the role has gone to beauty queen and model Ankita Shorey.


Confirming this, Sachin Joshi says, `I felt a newcomer would fit the bill much 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,` says Sachin.

The Telugu version of Aashiqui 2 would have a happy ending.
