'Savitri' now at Rana's mercy

  • IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,March 15 2011]

Once a star director Teja now is at the mercy of Daggubatis. Though Venkatesh was supposed to do the comeback film of Teja which is titled 'Savitri', he has now said a big no to that movie.

Venky is now keen on delivering a hit and wants to follow a hit formula and hence has okayed Bodyguard remake. Now that Venky refused to do it, the script has now gone to the table of Daggubati Rana. If he also refuses to do it, the movie will be shelved for ever. Suresh Productions was supposed to do this film.

Teja had earlier ambitiously announced that his home production will produce ten films in one year. But he himself couldn't convince Venkatesh despite waiting for over an year. Teja agreed to do Savitri without any remuneration from Suresh productions.

The unit earlier informed that Savitri started Muhurtham shot in Vizag on Feb 26th. But since the budget was sky high of Rs 40 crore and Venky wanting a hit, he is believed to have walked out of the project.

Rana is currently listening to scripts as both his 'Dum Maro Dum' and 'Nenu Naa Rakshasi' finished shooting. If he also rejects Teja's script, Savitri will then have to sit in the attic.
