Teja is one director who is facing issues with taking his new films on to the sets as he decided to not make movies with unknown cast. He kept himself limited to a zone for 12 years, since Nijam release and then, contacted Rana Daggubati with a script.

That script came out as Nene Raju Nene Mantri movie and became a hit. He had not many issues to decide on his next as Venkatesh gave him dates and even Nandamuri Balakrishna gave him NTR biopic offer.

He started both the films and then left them. Suresh Babu said that Teja did not have satisfactory script for Venkatesh and he may do a film with the director in future, if he comes up with a good script.

Teja went on to make Seetha after some issues but the movie failed at the box office, pushing him back to his earlier position. Now, for his next with Gopichand, he had issues in locking a lead actress. He is said to have approached Kajal, Anushka and few others.

Finally, Rakul Preet Singh expressed interest in acting in the film, it seems. But will she adjust her dates and start shooting for the film? Still no clarity has come on that topic.
