Exclusive: Karnam Malleswari biopic shelved due to script issues

A while back, noted Telugu script writer and producer Kona Venkat announced that he would be bankrolling Karnam Malleswari biopic and gave a couple of updates on the project. Kona Film Corporation and MVV Cinema were supposed to bankroll the bilingual.

Budding filmmaker, Sanjana Reddy was roped in to direct the project and there were rumors that Rakul Preet Singh is in serious consideration for the titular role.

However, the latest reports suggest that the supposed bilingual project has been shelved due to issues pertaining to the script.

As said by our sources familiar with the development, the makers were not on the same page in regard to the script and there were a few creative differences.

With the final draft of the script taking forever to materialize, the producers have reportedly decided to shelve the project.

The makers are yet to comment about the shelving of the project though.
