Gunasekhar-Rana split due to this reason. Hot Hunk Rana is known for his penchant and passion for mythological entertainers and films based on Hindu scriptures. Gunasekhar is popular for his grandiose in sets and love for filmmaking. When the duo announced a project on Hinranyakashyap, movie lovers got super excited.
People expected updates from the makers but much to the shock of all, Rana announced the project with Trivikram Srinivas at the Comic Con festival San Diego, USA. Peeved Gunasekhar came up with a cryptic tweet on the developments. Now speculation is on as to why Gunasekhar and Rana fell apart.
A source shares "Frankly, they have been having a few creative differences over the projection of the demon king. It is well known that Rana was playing a demon king in the movie. Being a hero, he wanted some changes in his characterization to enhance and justify his actions and also establish his motives well. He also urged the director to showcase more on the father-son conflict (between Hiranyakashyap and his son Prahalad) and not to depict him as a regular baddie role,"
The source adds "NTR garu glorified and enhanced the role of Ravana, despite being a negative role, by depicting all shades of a human being, rather than just riding on one dark trait. Some viewers even fell in love with demon king Ravana. Hence, Rana was slowly losing his patience,"
The source reveals that when Trivikram came up with the new version of Hiranyakashyap, Rana loved it. The source shares "Trivikram will be only providing the script, but the director was not named. Even Gunasekhar could have helmed it, but his tweet has widened the gap between them now. Let's wait and see,"
