Is Bimbisara Rejected By Raviteja?
Kalyan Ram's Bimbisara is finally creating a lot of noise at the B&C centres after two months of a glaring slowdown at the telugu box office since the movie earned favourable word of mouth straight from the first showing. It is now becoming clear that the hero Raviteja genuinely owns this movie, but circumstances conspired to prevent that from happening.
Back then, Raviteja was notorious for turning down movies like Pokiri, Pataas, and oosaravelli (this movie was also told to Ram), and many of the movies he turned down went on to become box office successes. The mass hero reportedly wasn't thrilled when director Vasishta originally told him this tale because he thought playing a character with such dark overtones may negatively impact his career. He is also concerned about how a new director will manage the film's extensive visual effects sequences.
The director is reported to have met Kalyanram after Raviteja rejected it and, feeling confident that his own business could handle all the visual effects and that the role of Bimbisara was extremely interesting, the hero is supposed to have agreed to star in the film. It appears that Kalyanram's faith in the story and the director has paid off.
