There is a shocking rumor spreading in Tollywood that the movie featuring Superstar Mahesh Babu and director Trivikram has hit a speed bump.
The project has been facing problems from the beginning, starting with issues related to the heroine and music director. Although Trivikram managed to work things out, the shoot encountered further issues.
The fight masters brought in from the KGF team did not meet the hero's expectations, leading to the scrapping of all footage shot. The replacement of the fight masters incurred an additional five crore burden on the film.
Despite efforts to move forward, shooting has not been smooth.
Reports suggest that only 20 percent of the film has been completed so far, with Mahesh Babu recently traveling abroad. Trivikram apparently shared some shocking news with Mahesh Babu upon his return.
According to the rumor, Trivikram recently informed Mahesh Babu that he has decided to scrap all the combo scenes featuring hero and heroine Srileela, shot in a mall.
The hero reportedly became annoyed upon hearing that Trivikram was dissatisfied. While he is willing to shoot if everything goes as planned, he is frustrated with the one-step-forward-one-step-backward approach.
However, it is unclear whether only the footage shot in the mall will be scrapped or if everything shot so far will be removed.
There are also criticisms that Trivikram is not focusing properly on Mahesh's film, as he is busy with other projects such as Pawan Kalyan-People's Media film, Pawan's other film OG, and advertisement works with NTR. This has led to concerns among Mahesh's fans about the film's quality and progress.
Mahesh Babu is insisting on maintaining the film's quality without compromise, and he wants to complete the project quickly so he can move on to Rajamouli's film.
But in the meanwhile some gossips were spread that Mahesh is afraid of summer, so delaying the project. Mahesh is frustrated with all this.
When asked about the rumors, Suryadevara Nagavamsi, the key person responsible for the film, denied them and stated that the comedy scenes shot in the mall were good and are not being scrapped. He added that the schedule would resume soon.
It is true that there wouldn't be smoke without fire but as Nagavamsi clarified, we have to believe it at least for the time being.
