Nani-Sujith Movie: Three Producers Bidding For It

Natural star Nani, fresh off the massive box office wins of "Dasara" and "Hi Nanna," seems to have hit a hurdle with his upcoming project alongside director Sujith (known for "Saaho"). The film, initially set to be produced by DVV Danayya under his DVV Entertainment banner (also the producer behind Nani's current film "Saripodha Sanivaram"), reportedly got shelved due to disagreements over the budget.

But here's the interesting twist: DVV's exit has triggered a bidding war among three other major production houses. Top contenders include Naga Vamsi of Sithara Entertainment, the man who brought us Nani's critically acclaimed "Jersey." Joining him in the race is Venkat Boyanapalli of Niharika Entertainment, the producer behind Nani's recent hit "Shyam Singha Roy." People Media Factory's TG Vishwa Prasad has also thrown his hat into the ring, making this a four-way battle for the coveted project.

Industry insiders suggest that DVV Danayya, known for backing big-budget extravaganzas like "RRR," felt the Nani-Sujith project's requirements were excessive and wouldn't yield the desired returns. However, the other producers seem to have a different perspective. Their confidence likely stems from the booming digital streaming market, where Nani's films consistently fetch high prices for OTT platforms. Additionally, Nani's proven ability to deliver movies that resonate with audiences and rake in box office moolah makes him a very attractive prospect.

This intense competition to collaborate with Nani highlights his star power and bankability in the Telugu film industry. With several big names vying for the project, the stakes are high. It will be fascinating to see which producer emerges victorious in this high-profile scramble and gets the chance to shepherd Nani and Sujith's vision to the silver screen.
