Venkatesh-Tharun Bhascker project shelved, what next?

few months ago, Tharun Bhascker narrated a story based on horse racing to Venkatesh and got his approval. Just as the project was about to hit the floors, it seems to have hit a rough patch and latest reports suggest that this untitled film has been shelved.

Creative differences between Tharun and Suresh Babu, who runs Suresh Productions is said to be the reason why the project did not materialize.

Apparently, Suresh Babu got overly involved with the story and screenplay and that did not go well with Tharun Bhascker. With things not panning out as planned, both Tharun and Suresh Babu decided to call off the project.

Well, this is isn’t the first time a project featuring Venkatesh is shelved after commencement of shoot looked imminent. Previously, Kishore Tirumala, Teja, and Puri Jagannadh had also stepped out of their respective projects with Venkatesh in the lead role.

Suresh Babu’s constant inputs and his keen interest towards the creative side of things seems to be irking filmmakers and consequently, multiple projects are being shelved.

Meanwhile, Tharun Bhascker has moved on already and he announced that he would be directing a crime drama featuring a big star. The project will be officially announced very soon.
