Mega Prince Varun Tej and Puri Jagannadh’s Loafer seem to be heading towards a failure. The movie which had registered biggest first day figure in the actor’s career, started slowing down from the second day itself.

He is in a dilemma because Deva Katta just delivered two back to back flops – Autonagar Surya and Dynamite. Giving a chance to a flop director when he himself is in a flop, will be very risky. So lets see what he decides finally!
