Sometimes, the star kids coming from affluent film families are labelled as nepo-kids and that they got opportunities very easily. But then, there are times when the likes of Allu Arjun, who is currently being crowned as the next big Pan-India Superstar after the success of the Pushpa franchise at the box office, is also thrown out of movies.

Writer Chinni Krishna wrote the story of “Gangotri” for Allu Arjun, which was his debut film and directed by the veteran legend K Raghavendra Rao. Before that, Allu Arjun was actually supposed to be part of Teja’s Jayam movie, but was shunted out. “Teja had initially cast Allu Arjun in Jayam as the leading man, and we were thrown a big party too. After 3 days, he was sent out of the film, and Nithin was roped in, and a paper announcement was made in that regard. We were all shocked,” says writer Chinni Krishna in an interview.

Chinni Krishna is known for his love towards Megastar Chiranjeevi, and stated that after Allu Arjun was shown the door from Jayam, he stopped working on Superstar Rajnikanth’s movie, and took the responsibility of writing Gangotri to make sure that things would work for the mega compound’s debutant. Well, many are wondering why Teja removed Allu Arjun from Jayam anyway.
