Sharwanand's much-anticipated collaboration with director Srinu Vaitla has hit a setback as Mythri Movie Makers, initially on board as producers, have withdrawn from the project. This unexpected exit of a major production house has cast uncertainty over the film, which was targeting a festive Sankranthi 2027 release.
Sharwanand, who recently earned praise for his performance in 'Biker' despite its underwhelming box office run, has been trying to regain commercial momentum. Currently, he is filming 'Bhogi' with director Sampath Nandi, which is scheduled to hit theatres on August 28th. The actor was counting on the Srinu Vaitla film, described as a complete entertainer, to mark a strong comeback during the lucrative Sankranthi period.
With Mythri Movie Makers stepping away, the future of the project hangs in balance. Industry insiders report that Sharwanand and Srinu Vaitla are now in talks with other production houses to secure new backing. The team is reportedly working hard to avoid delays, aiming to finalize a new producer soon. Despite the setback, they remain hopeful, with an official announcement regarding the new production partner expected within this month. Shooting is still planned to commence by mid-June if all goes as intended.
Fans will be watching closely for updates, as the project's progress in the coming weeks will determine if Sharwanand can revive his box office fortunes with this ambitious entertainer.
