Regarding what Teja was promised or not. I don think anyone here has seen her contract so they can claim that she was promised a positive character.
Though I have never seen a contract given to TV stars. I do not think the contract has the word Positive Character or Negative Character. It is just mentions what their role would consist of, their working hrs, holidays, renumeration etc.
If the contract had the word positive character. Teja could have sued and gotten crores of Rs from RS n PH for violating the contract.
All she had to do was to go to court. And Teja being an Engg, I would assume has the basic knowledge of how things work. So she would know what to do if her contract was breached.
If not court, she could have gone to the various employee redressal forums available to help actors cheated by PH etc.
Since she did not take that route. I don think she was promised in the contract a postie role. Plus, contracts at least the starting ones are given on a yearly basis. So it cannot be that during renewal the terms were changed.
Infact I feel Ragini was always supposed to be a negative character.
Because I remember when SR had started. After a few days they used to give a montage of Swaragini where Swara in a Rikshaw was facing the audience while Ragini's rickshaw was going in the opposite direction. That was a big indicator that Ragini will soon be turning negative.
Montages always tell which way the story will go. The reasoning for my above logic is the montage of serial Kassam Se. That had 3 butterflies with the sec butterfly taking a path opposite to the other two. She took the tedha rasta. And the Sec sistet Piya in that serial was a negative charater. In the movie Dewaar. Sashi Kapoors character walks the straight path while Amitabh character took the tedha path and again as we know Amitabh was the Protagonist would had negative shades.
