In a shocking development, Naga Chaitanya has withdrawn from his long-running project with new director Kishore.

Supported by Arka Media Works, the producers of Baahubali, the movie has been in pre-production for more than two years. The film will be presented by Rana Daggubati.

The film was supposed to be an ambitious collaboration between the actor and a new director, and Naga Chaitanya had been in talks with the team for a long time. Chaitanya has, however, notified the project's creators that he is no longer involved for unspecified reasons.

Ram Pothineni Takes Over

According to reports, Ram Pothineni has given the project new life after Chaitanya left. According to an article published in Telugu 360, Ram recently had a meeting with director Kishore, who listened to the story's narration and gave it a favourable reception.
