0

Director Rajamouli actively participated in the meetings with the Government authorities and tried hard to get permission to resume the shootings but recent conference by the producers guild says no to shooting at least till the end of August.

Rajamouli is making a crazy multi strrer RRR with Ram Charan and NTR after India’s biggest Blockbuster Bahubali series. During this film shoot itself, this film has done a whopping pre-release business globally. But due to the lockdown, the shooting could not be continued and this created a panic situation among the distributors who already paid their advances.

Now, the distributor who has made the deal are demanding to return their advances, especially from the USA distributor who made a whopping deal with Overseas distributor who paid 10% of the advance. This puts the producer Danayya under pressure and let’s see how he is going to deal with this situation and convince the distributors.

0

Prabhas is now coming up with another PAN India project which is yet to be titled. This will be a periodic love story directed by Jil Fame Radha Krishna. This project was started in the last year and also completed some part of its shooting part but from the last three months, there was no sound of action due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Some schedules are planned in Austria and Italy but it’s highly impossible to organize the shooting in Europe considering their local situations. As many European countries are badly affected by Corona, as of now there are no chances of abroad shootings due to the travel restrictions of Governments. So the movie makers are planning to erect the sets of European cities in Hyderabad itself and proceed to shoot. This results in the budget hike for expensive sets and grand visual graphics. As the producers, Vamsi Pramod are very close friends of Prabhas probably they may not have any budget limitations. Radhe Shyam is being considered as the title for #Prabhas20 coming under UV Creations banner and Pooja Hedge will be seen as a female lead.
