For the last couple of days, Kollywood media is gung-ho about Tamil star Suriya’s upcoming film, 24. The reason behind this sudden craze and nonstop buzz for the film is nothing but its ‘Manam’ connection. Yes, according to the reports being published, Suriya’s 24 is based on
Akkineni family’s emotional tale of three generations, Manam.

Apparently, Suriya will be seen in three roles in the film and reports are saying that the star himself will be reprising all the three roles essayed by ANR, Nagarjuna and Naga Chaitanya. Well there is no doubt that Suriya can pull off any number of difficult roles with aplomb thanks to his brilliant acting skills.

Coincidentally, 24 is being directed by Vikram Kumar who earlier directed Manam, and it also has Samantha playing the heroine’s role and this could have led to this interesting rumour. It is known that Suriya, after being dumbstruck with Vikram’s work in Manam, offered him to direct him in his own production. 24 is being promoted as a sci-fi thriller and it boasts of prominent technicians like AR Rahman, Kiran Deohans etc.

Tollywood is right now puzzled by one happening, as they ask why did Nitin left Puri Jagan’s film? Because Nitin’s career is blossoming at the moment and if does a film with star director like Puri Jagan, definitely he could raise to next level. So what made him walk out of the project?

Ample speculations are being heard regarding this happening. Few close sources have shared that Nitin is unhappy with the way Puri Jagan wants to produce this film. In fact, Puri Jagan is signing package-deal nowadays, where he will give the first copy of the film for certain amount. A producer need not worry about heroines, their dates, production planning and others.

Puri will plan everything, execute and give first copy such that the producer could start promotion and plan the release. Even for Nitin’s movie, he’s about to repeat the same, which Nitin didn’t like as he wants his own banner to produce this film by taking care of each and every production aspect. If this is one side of story, there is another angle to it.

Some say that Puri Jagan has roped in Charmi as co-producer for Nitin’s movie. This movie has perplexed Nitin and that’s why he walked out of the flick. It feels like Nitin would have taken up the film rather worrying about production. For Mahesh Babu’s Businessman also, Puri signed similar package deal and delivered the film. When it worked for Mahesh, why not for Nitin?
