Rajamouli's son walks out of creative differences; Check his statement here
SS Karthikeya, the son of Rajamouli announced his debut as a producer with the film Aakashavani. As per the latest reports, the film is not happening. Karthikeya backed out of the movie now citing the creative differences and lack of time. Karthikeya handed the project over to another production house. Since the news of the same is doing rounds for quite some time, Karthikeya put an end to rumours and issued an official statement on the same.
Sharing a tweet, he wrote, "Some journeys have to come to an unexpected end. Wishing the best to my friend, director @AshwinGangaraju and the entire team on the project. #Aakashavaani" and also penned a note, elaborating the same. In the note, he wrote the following.
"It has been quite an interesting journey so far as a producer. Working on Aakasha-vaani has been one hell of a learning experience that I shall cherish for a lifetime. However, some good sojourns have to end.
As much as I was excited about the project and decided to give it my all, I am also equally dedicated to the other project, which I'm working as a Line Producer, and sometimes that prevents the much-deserved time I'd like to dedicate to the film.
With an amazing crew in place, progress has been great on the film. However, over time we have realised that the creative vision of the Director and I is different and I felt it would be appropriate to make it easy for the team by handing over the project to someone whose ideas are in sync with the vision of the film. And so, I have passed on the baton to A. Padmanabha Reddy of AU&I Studios Pvt Ltd.
I am glad to have been associated with the project so far and wish the best to my dear friend Ashwin and the entire team. It was great working with all of you and I can't wait to watch Aakashavaani!"
