Director Deva Katta has addressed circulating rumours about a film collaboration with star Pawan Kalyan, putting speculation to rest. The buzz began shortly after Pawan Kalyan's recent release, Ustaad Bhagat Singh, failed to make a significant impact at the box office, sparking talks of a new political thriller project with Katta at the helm.
Pawan Kalyan's team swiftly clarified that the actor is not currently engaged in any new projects besides the anticipated OG 2, urging fans to rely on official sources for updates. Adding to the clarification, Deva Katta expressed that while working with Pawan Kalyan has been a long-held dream, no concrete plans exist at this time. He revealed that even his earlier film Republic was initially envisioned with Kalyan in mind.
In a recent statement, Katta said, "When something equally excites us both, it will happen," highlighting that he is presently focused on a highly ambitious, non-political script with a talented team. He encouraged fans to await more details on his upcoming projects, emphasizing exploration of meaningful ideas rather than political themes.
Both parties firmly denied any current collaboration, calming fan speculation across social media. Audiences now look forward to Katta's next venture and Pawan Kalyan's future releases, anticipating fresh and compelling narratives from these acclaimed talents.
