In a recent interview, Renu Desai revealed that she was offered the role of a bank officer in 'Sarkaru Vaari Paata'. The speculation is that she was talking about the role that was eventually essayed by Ravi Prakash, who played a differently-abled officer in the action entertainer.
Renu said that she couldn't do the film for some reason although she wanted to act in 'SVP'. She added that she was not disclosing the reason for not doing the film in order to avoid sparking off a controversy.
The gossip is that Renu was stopped by Pawan Kalyan's camp from doing the film. It was a Mahesh Babu-starrer and, probably, the camp felt that the reactions from a section of Mega fans might not be favourable.
In an old interview, Renu said that she would be willing to act with all Telugu heroes in character roles. "I am ready to play Mahesh Babu's or Prabhas' mother," she said in 2020.
