A surprising piece of industry gossip is doing the rounds in Tollywood circles. According to the buzz, a much-awaited film, which is nearing its release, is facing serious behind-the-scenes issues.
The biggest talking point is the alleged fallout between the hero and the director. Despite the film aiming for a September release, portions of the shoot are reportedly still pending.
What has shocked many is another claim making the rounds. Industry insiders allege that since last month, the hero himself has been supervising and directing the remaining scenes because the director has reportedly been absent from the set.
If the gossip is true, it points to a huge creative rift at a crucial stage of production. This might have an adverse effect on the film’s overall tone and quality. It is extremely rare for a star hero to step in and handle the direction while a film is still being completed. In the past, Chiranjeevi had done it a few times in his career.
As of now, there has been no official confirmation from the production house or anyone associated with the project. Therefore, these claims should be treated purely as industry speculation.
Whether there is any truth behind the rumors or whether they are simply exaggerated gossip will likely become clear only after the film’s release or an official clarification from the makers.
