While the movie was launched amidst huge expectations and fanfare in March end, now, the movie, which wasn't progressing much, has data-faced a shocker of a setback. Maverick maker Teja, who was supposed to direct this dream biggie, has now quit the project, and the reasons haven't been quoted.
It has been said that creative differences arose between Balaiya and Teja, as the former wanted the movie to be a colorful affair with songs and masala, while the latter wanted to make it realistic. Balayya also wanted to add Trisha as the female lead. Besides, with numerous instances of interference from Balaiya, Teja had even shelved his Venkatesh - Shriya project Aata Nade Veta Nade. Tough times ahead for Teja.
