Did Hiranyakashyapa put on back burner

Did Hiranyakashyapa put on back burner.  For long Tollywood is abuzz with the project on Hiranyakashyapa. Preparations were made in full swing long time back. Gunasekhar came up with a historic entertainer Rudramadevi and he planned Hiranyakashyapa.

He got the green signal from ace producer Suresh Babu and announced the project with Hot Hunk Rana in the lead. However for some reasons, the project was set aside and Gunasekhar came up with Shakuntalam. Many expected Gunasekhar to take up Hiranyakashyapa later.

But surprisingly, Suresh Productions, sidelined Gunasekhar and announced Hiranyakashyapa and it was announced last year. Trivikram Srinivas was roped in as the writer and director was not named. But till now, no update came from the makers. But it seems, the project may get shelved.

Recently Mahavatar Narasimha , an animation picture came. The film which no one gave any credence is doing wonders at the box office. The film based on Prahlada has important role for Hiranyakashyapa. Without Hiranyakashyapa, the story is incomplete. The makers designed the role quite well and it is difficult to do a full length film with Hiranyakashyapa in the lead role.

Though there is difference between animation and real film, it is difficult to impress movie lovers once again who already watched the character in animation. Seems the makers are now having production issues and so doubts are on the project.
