The rumors are not just stopping. The whispers in the darkened sidelines are not getting silenced.

Well, the word is Pawan may shelve Bangaram for his own venture.

Though nothing is confirmed yet, Tollywood is agog with reports that Pawan, who is now sporting a new hairdo and a 'Zapata' moustache, may be getting ready for the movie that he is set to direct for Geeta Arts.

Pawan who is just back from a trip to abroad and is as usual not ready for comments.

The producer of Bangaram A M Rathnam is also not sure of what is happening around. He says that the film is not dropped yet and has been delayed only because Pawan was not in good shape.

Rathnam has to talk it out with Pawan before making a final announcement.

But the man who is supposed to direct Bangharam, Dharani, thinks it is almost over. Sources say that he is not ready for the kind of changes that the actor wants in the script and in the choice of the crew.

But Dharani may not exactly drop the film. The news is that he has approached Prabhas with the same story and script and he is also said to be very impressed.

Dharani wants to finalize things one way or the other before this month end.

So stay tuned for some more action, one way or the other.
