Even as ‘Orange’ is on sets, the shooting of ‘Merupu’ was launched and Ram Charan took part in both the shootings for some time. However, because of the abroad schedule, Ram Charan gave a break to the shooting of ‘Merupu’ after the first schedule and completed ‘Orange’ first. Soon after its completion, Ram Charan decided to take a break and went on a holiday to an island near Andaman.

Ram Charan was supposed to pair up with Kajal for second time in ‘Merupu’ after their successful combination of ‘Magadheera’. With the delayed start of ‘Merupu’ second schedule, Kajal kept herself off from the film as she expressed her inability to adjust the dates.

The latest buzz from the film industry is that Ileana might replace Kajal in ‘Merupu’. However, the film- makers are yet to confirm this news.
