Tollywood star Rana Daggubati is currently in San Diego for the exciting Comic-Con event starting tomorrow. He’s there for two projects, Project-K and Hiranyakashyapa, a movie based on a mythological figure.
The issue arose when director Gunasekhar, known for Shaakuntalam, had announced Hiranyakashyapa earlier and even worked on it before Rudramadevi. Suddenly, Rana announced that he is making a movie on the mythological figure and revealed the concept art at SDCC 23, with the talented Trivikram as the script writer. The film is currently in the scripting stage.
This sparked a debate online, with Gunasekhar’s tweet indirectly hinting at Rana’s actions. “While making God the central theme of your story, you must also keep in mind that God keeps an eye on your integrity. Unethical acts will be answered through ethical means,” wrote Gunasekhar. Many supported Gunasekhar, as it’s his dream project. Rana has remained silent amidst all this, leaving us curious about his reaction.
In case you didn’t know, Rana was Gunasekhar’s first choice for Hiranyakashyapa, and the news was widely known, even attracting Fox Star Studios to join the project. Let’s keep an eye on future updates on this issue.
