Prasanth Varma made a huge impact with the success of his latest film HanuMan. The film grossed over Rs 300 crore at the box office, cementing his status as a star director. Currently, he is working on the sequel, Jai HanuMan, which is being made on a massive scale.
Latest update on Prasanth Varma's film with Mokshagnya
Amidst all this, reports surfaced that Prasanth Varma would launch Balakrishna's son, Mokshagnya, in a new film, which delighted fans. The first look of Mokshagnya from the film was also unveiled with much fanfare. However, just a day before the film's official launch, the action drama was called off.
Several reasons have been speculated for the film's cancellation. Some reports suggest that Balakrishna did not like the final story and decided to pull the plug. But we have some interesting information about the real reason behind the film's halt.
Mokshanya's debut film has not been shelved
Sources at the hero's camp reveal that Prasanth Varma demanded a hefty fee of Rs 16 crore just before the film's launch. This figure shocked the producers, Balakrishna and Sudhakar Cherukuri, who had reservations about paying such a large amount, despite the director's rising popularity and praise.
In the meantime, Balakrishna made an unexpected announcement on his show Unstoppable with NBK, revealing Aditya 999, a film starring his son Mokshagnya. This surprise announcement caught everyone off guard, as the project had not been previously mentioned. It appears that, after the debut film for Mokshagnya was abruptly stalled, Balakrishna chose to announce a new film to keep his fans happy.
Now the latest update is that the film is back on track as the makers have settled the issue amicably. Mokshagnya's debut has been in the works for over five years, but unfortunately, the young actor will need to wait a bit longer for the film to go on floors. The makers have also slammed the news of being stalled.
It remains to be seen when Mokshagnya will finally make his debut and what the future holds for Jai HanuMan. Stay tuned for more updates on these developments.
