With his Mass all set for release, it is difficult to keep Nagarjuna out of news (usually heroes keep themselves so when a new film of theirs is about to hit the cinema halls).

Now the news about Nagarjuna is that he is said to have said a very emphatic 'no' to the multi-starrer film that he was scheduled to do with Puri Jagannath. The film was to have boasted many popular names including Srikanth may now have to be put on the back burner.

So what is the problem? Why is Nag shelving a big project?

The answer is Puri himself. Does it mean that Nag has fallen out with Puri? No, it is just that Nagarjuna is more convinced another story that Puri himself has come up with. It has appealed to Nag's so much that he wants to do the movie forthwith.

The shooting may begin in the last week of December after finalizing the cast and the technical crew.

As far as the first project is concerned, well, its time is still to come.
