After Gunasekhar directorial Rudramadevi, starring Anushka Shetty, Rana Daggubati and Allu Arjun, hit the screens, many speculations went rife the director is planning to make a movie with Bunny, based on the role of Gona Ganna Reddy. It was heard that Bunny was also ready for it.
For the first time, Gunasekhar has responded to these speculations and said that he has no intention of making a film based on Gona Ganna Reddy character. He said that many suggested that it would be better to make a film with that character and even some pressured him to take up the project.
Gently refusing those suggestions, the director said that the role of Gona Ganna Reddy in the history of Rudrama Devi is tiny. “We just extended it a bit and increased the character by adding a bit of imagination. If a full length film is planned on it, then you have to add non-existent stories and fantasies, which damages the soul of the character. That is why the attempt was not made,” said Gunasekhar.
On the work front, Gunasekhar is gearing up for yet another mythological film titled Shaakuntalam.
