Soon after the news of Puri Jagannath getting dropped from Varun Tej's debut film came to light, all the eyes were on Pawan Kalyan as many expected that he might be the sole reason for this unexpected development. Rumor have been abuzz, Pawan settled scores with Puri by asking Ashwini Dutt to replace him for disrespecting him in a recent interview given to a tabloid.
Contrary to the reports in circulation, Pawan Kalyan was never involved in Varun Tej's launching movie. It was Ashwini Dutt who preferred Krish over Puri only because of the script and remuneration aspects. While Puri narrated a love story which has an action orientation, Krish came up with a refreshing concept that would be apt for debutant hero. Even Krish is flexible when it comes to remuneration, where as Puri is known for charging hefty pay package. Due to these factors, Ashwini Dutt is going ahead with Krish for a crazy project.
