Director Gowtam Tinnanuri is basking in the success of the pan-India action drama starring Vijay Deverakonda, which has opened to strong numbers. The director Gowtam recently interacted with the media and shared about a project that didn't take off with Tollywood superstar Ram Charan.
Script didn't fit
As per a 123Telugu report, the 'Jersey' director revealed that he had once approached Ram Charan with a story idea that was well-received by the actor. "I had narrated a storyline to Ram Charan, and he liked it very much," Gowtam shared. Encouraged by the actor’s interest, he developed the concept into a full script. However, once the screenplay was complete, the director felt it did not align with Charan's larger-than-life image and stardom.
Decision taken with mutual respect"Directing a star like Ram Charan is a one-time opportunity, and I didn't just want to make any random film with him. I told him the same, and we mutually decided to collaborate on the right project," Gowtam added.
