Leading producer DVV Danayya has reportedly dropped his next film with Nani and director Sujeeth due to budget concerns. According to a source, the producer felt that the estimated cost of Rs 80 crore was too risky, given the current market conditions, including a decline in Hindi dubbing and OTT rights, and a lack of audience in theaters. As a result, the project has been put on hold, and Sujeeth is set to begin work on "OG" with Pawan Kalyan instead.
The source notes that Sujeeth may revisit the project with Nani after completing "OG", as no director typically works on two films simultaneously. Nani was eager to collaborate with Sujeeth to expand his reach to a pan-India audience, but will now need to find another producer to achieve this goal.
The source suggests that Nani will likely take the project to another producer after the success of "Saripodhaa Sanivararam", which will help prove his star power. This move will allow Nani to continue his expansion plans and reach a wider audience.
The decision to put the project on hold is seen as a strategic move, given the current market conditions. With Sujeeth focused on "OG" and Nani seeking a new producer, the fate of the film remains uncertain. However, Nani's determination to expand his reach and collaborate with top directors like Sujeeth is clear, and fans can expect to see him in new and exciting projects soon.
