Mahesh Babu revealed to all that he has called off the project with ace director Sukumar as they had creative differences. But the fact behind this is that Mahesh was not happy with the changes that were made by Sukumar.
The news also is that Sukumar was adamant not to change the script and did not like what Mahesh was suggesting. So, they both agreed to a mutual understanding and stalled the project.
But the twist here is that Sukumar went and told the same story to Bunny and got his nod. Bunny is in search of a hit and no better than Sukumar can give him so he said yes right away.
