Right after the release of Devara directed by Koratala Shiva, reports came that despite the BO performance, NTR decided to shelve the sequel and concentrate on his next projects with Prashanth Neel and Trivikram Srinivas.\r\nDuring that time, Koratala Shiva revealed that Devara 2 was indeed happening and many fans thought the makers would come up with the shooting update. In the midst of all this, fans got a huge shock when it came out that the Devara 2 was shelved.\r\nNow the question is why was Devara 2 shelved and the reason behind NTR taking this decision. Koratala Shiva readied the new version of the script and narrated it to NTR. However, inside talk is he failed to impresse NTR. NTR couldn\'t get convinced and felt that it looked haphazard rather than the smooth contination from Devara.\r\nHe felt that everything looked artificial and forced and dragged to the core and NTR thought that it was just like for the sake of sequel. NTR decided not to take a risk and felt that if he proceeds with the script and get a mixed talk at the BO then it will be a huge jolt. So he decided to shelve the project completely.&nbsp;

Ranbir Kapoor is starring in the prestigious project Ramayana under the direction of Nitesh Tiwari.\r\nDuring that time, many opposed his casting as a lead actor as they opposed Ranbir\'s drinking and eating meat. During that time, sources revealed that Ranbir Kapoor changed his lifestyle and became sattwik.\r\nBut in the meantime, another video is going viral which exposed Ranbir and now people are furious. A video from the recently released \'Dining With The Kapoors\' has raised questions about these claims.

They don&rsquo;t do an ounce of research of past videos of their clients before posting such stupidity. On top of that, give such exaggerated claims and all. What was the need to make claims of leaving non-veg and drinks for the role? Who asked? If they had kept their mouth shut at that time, they wouldn&rsquo;t be facing this unneces\r\n&nbsp;\r\n&nbsp;
