In a major setback for the upcoming Telugu film Guntur Kaaram, its second lead, Pooja Hegde, and cinematographer PS Vinod have both walked out of the project.
Hegde was reportedly unhappy with the film's script and felt that her role was not substantial enough. Vinod, on the other hand, is said to have had creative differences with the film's director, Trivikram Srinivas.
The departures of Hegde and Vinod are a major blow to Guntur Kaaram, which is one of the most anticipated Telugu films of the year. Mahesh Babu is one of the biggest stars in the Telugu film industry, and Trivikram Srinivas is a highly respected director. The film was also expected to be a major visual spectacle, thanks to Vinod's cinematography.
It is unclear how the departures of Hegde and Vinod will affect the film's schedule or budget. The film is currently in production, and it is possible that the production team will be able to find replacements for the two stars. However, it is also possible that the film will be delayed or even canceled altogether.
The news of Hegde and Vinod's departures comes at a time when Guntur Kaaram is already facing some challenge. The delay was reportedly due to the film's extensive VFX work.
It remains to be seen if Guntur Kaaram will be able to overcome the setbacks it has faced. The film has a lot of potential, but it will need to overcome its current challenges in order to be a success.
In addition to Hegde and Vinod, Guntur Kaaram also stars Samuthirakani, Prakash Raj, and Vennela Kishore. The film is produced by Mythri Movie Makers.
