Hyderabad: After weeks of speculation, the makers of the Tollywood film “Rakshas” have officially confirmed that the project has been shelved. Ranveer Singh and director Prasanth Varma, who were initially collaborating on this exciting venture, have parted ways due to creative differences.
Mythri Movie Makers, the production house behind the film, released a joint statement clarifying the situation.

We explored the idea of a film together, and hopefully, we will collaborate on something exciting in the future.” Prasanth Varma reciprocated the sentiment, acknowledging Ranveer’s rare energy and talent. He stated, “We shall manifest our forces combining soon sometime in the future.”
The decision to part ways was attributed to “creative differences,” but the statement also emphasized that this wasn’t the ideal time for the project. Despite everyone’s good intentions, the team decided to shake hands and look forward to future collaborations.
