Exclusive: Veteran director opts out of Rajasekhar’s project

A few months ago, we had reported that senior director Rajasekhar will be joining hands with veteran director, Neelakanta for his next project.

Rajasekhar and Neelakanta were supposed to collaborate for the Telugu remake of Malayalam suspense thriller, Joseph.

We were told that Rajasekhar would be playing a retired police officer, facing criminal charges after the mysterious death of his wife. Neelakanta had almost finalized the script for the project.

However, the latest reports suggest that Neelakanta has opted out of the project, citing creative differences. Reportedly, there are some compatibility issues between him and Rajasekhar and the former walked out.

Now, the makers are in search of another seasoned director for the project and the final call in this regard will be taken sooner than later.

MLV Satyanarayana who previously bankrolled Rajdooth is producing the Rajasekhar starrer. Richa Panai has been roped in to play the female lead.
