Rumours have been swirling around the upcoming film “Rakshas,” directed by Prasanth Varma and allegedly starring Ranveer Singh. The whispers centred on creative differences and a potential fallout between the director and actor. However, Prasanth Varma has finally addressed these speculations, setting the record straight.
In a recent interview, Varma dismissed the rumours as “unfounded.” He confirmed that Ranveer Singh did visit his office for a meeting, even arriving with his team. Varma clarified, “Yes, he came to my office with a whole caravan, but in the South, we work as a team.” This statement highlights the difference in work cultures between Bollywood and South Indian cinema, where collaboration appears to be emphasized.
Prasanth Varma further addressed specific rumours:
- Creative Differences: Reports suggested clashes over the film’s vision. Varma denied this, stating they were “on the same page” regarding the script and his directorial approach.
- Extended Shooting Schedule: Whispers hinted at an excessively long shooting schedule due to Varma’s meticulous style. The director refuted these claims, calling them “unfounded.”
Varma also confirmed that a look test was conducted with Ranveer Singh, indicating progress on the project. While an official release date hasn’t been announced, this news suggests “Rakshas” is still in development and on track for production.
Why Did These Rumours Surface?
The reasons behind the rumours remain unclear. Here are some possible explanations:
- Media Speculation: The anticipation surrounding a collaboration between a renowned South Indian director and a Bollywood A-lister like Ranveer Singh could have fuelled media speculation. Sometimes, the desire for news can lead to unfounded reports.
- Communication Gap: A lack of transparency from the production team regarding the project’s status might have created room for speculation.
With Varma’s clarification, the project seems to be on track, and the director-actor relationship appears to be on solid ground.
While Varma confirmed Ranveer Singh’s involvement in the initial stages, an official announcement regarding the final cast is still awaited. This interview might pave the way for a formal confirmation soon.
Prasanth Varma’s clarification regarding “Rakshas” has doused the flames of speculation. While some questions remain, like the official cast and release date, the project appears to be moving forward. Fans can now look forward to more concrete updates and hopefully, a glimpse into the world of “Rakshas.”
