There\'s speculation that Naga Vamsi, prominent producer, might be reevaluating his long standing partnership with Dil Raju\'s Sri Venkateswara Creations (SVC) for film distribution. The duo has been synonymous with successful releases, especially during Sankranti festivals, where Vamsi\'s films were almost always handled by Raju\'s SVC.&nbsp;\r\nHowever, recent developments suggest Sithara Entertainments, Vamsi\'s production house, is exploring alternative distribution channels. The potential split could be a significant blow to Dil Raju\'s distribution business, as Vamsi\'s films are often high grossing and frequent. With Vamsi releasing around 6-7 movies annually, his decision would leave a substantial gap in Raju\'s pipeline.&nbsp;\r\nAnnapoorna and Mythri Movie Makers are rumored to be potential new partners, with Annapoorna being a likely candidate. The shift is reportedly driven by internal strategic reasons rather than external pressures. Vamsi\'s recent film Anaganaga Oka Raju was also distributed by Dil Raju in Nizam.&nbsp;\r\nWith several big ticket projects lined up, Vamsi might be looking to diversify his distribution partnerships to minimize risks. If confirmed, this move could signal a significant reshuffle in Tollywood\'s distribution landscape.

He planned to cast Suriya in this two part epic project planned with a whopping budget of Rs 600crs.\r\nHowever, with Suriya\'s Kanguva turning out to be a disaster, the equations changed. Excel Entertainment backed off feeling that investing so much money when Suriya\'s market is down is a huge risk. Rakesh Mehra is however keen to showcase Karna\'s valor on a grand scale on the big screen and so he kept the project on hold as he doesn\'t want to compromise on the quality by bringing down the budget.\r\nHe himself revealed that though Rahman readied six songs, the film got stalled due to current situation. Currently pan India trend is going on and already many filmmakers are gearing up to realise their Mahabharat dreams. If Karna donot hurry then the craze will wane away with the release of other projects on Mahabharat.\r\nIf Rakesh Mehra is not keen to take the project forward with Suriya then, he may look for other stars who has pan India craze and Prabhas and Allu Arjun tops the list. Business will be going in fullswing, with any of these heroes. But Prabhas may not be keen on this project as he is doing the role of Karna in Kalki 2898AD and so Allu Arjun willbe the best option.\r\nAlready the project is on Suriya\'s name and if the director is keen to replace him, he may need Suriya\'s permission and also look for other technical hindrances. Suriya is currently busy with his 44 ad 45 project. All eyes are on as to who will turn Karna on the screen.\r\n<div></div>

Mega Star Chiranjeevi is over the moon with the sensation his film Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu created at the box office. He got double joy when his son Ram Charan and daughter in law Upasana became proud parents of twins.\r\nIn the meantime, all eyes are on his next project Mega 158 helmed by Bobby. The project is helmed by K.Narayana on his KVN Productions banner, a renowned banner in Sandalwood. However it seems, this is hitting a roadblock.\r\nKL.Narayana during the last few years produced high profile projects and one happens to be Vijay\'s Jana Nayagan. The film did exceptioal business but the censor controvery stalled the record breaking spree. The makers are unable to release the film inspite of their best efforts..\r\nNow, most of the stakeholders are cancelling their agreements and distributors are also backing off. This is forcing the producers to return the advances. Some buyers are insisting on revising the old agreements and theatres are also getting reimbursed. The delay in film release is increasing the interest rates.\r\nThis is landing the productionn house in huge losses and KVN may suffer from financial crunch. In the meantime, Yash\'s Toxic is up for release and they are overseeing those activities. Inside talk is under these circumstances, they are finding it difficult to manage Chiru-Bobby film and take it forward. The film may thus go to sets after few months delay or the production of the project may chane hands.&nbsp;
