Celebs Blesses Allari Naresh, Virupa

Anand Deverakonda, who scored his first major success with the film Baby, which featured Vaishnavi Chaitanya in her debut role, was expected to team up with her again for a new project. Directed by Sai Rajesh, Baby became a hit, grossing over a hundred crore rupees at the box office. Following this success, Sai Rajesh announced his second collaboration with both Anand and Vaishnavi, with Ravi Namburi stepping in as the director.

However, there has been a setback in the project. Anand Deverakonda, who was initially set to play the lead role, has reportedly chosen to exit the film. Kiran Abbavaram has been brought in as his replacement, according to sources close to the production.

The film, which was formally launched in 2023, is now facing significant production delays. Rumors have also emerged about the heroine potentially walking out of the project due to these delays, though this has not been confirmed. The team had hoped to replicate the success and chemistry of Baby with this new venture, but it appears that the combination has not yielded the desired results.

The film is being produced jointly by SKN and Sai Rajesh, and while an official announcement is still awaited, the production’s future remains uncertain at this stage.
