First it was the change of location. Upendra-starrer Kalki which was supposed to have been shot in Hyderabad was shifted to Mysore as the location was not found to be apt. Now it is the change in director that has stalled the project. What began as a full fledged shoot and planned for a one long schedule has now come to a stand still.

Rumors are abuzz that there has been a lot of misunderstanding between the story writer, the director as well as the star which has resulted in this abrupt stop. The director Po Sammi Krishnamurali has also opted out of the film and now Upendra as appointed the film's cameraman Krishnakumar as the new director.

As for the shooting, it will be continued after a gap. The new team is now being put together all over again.
