A strange rumor is making rounds in film circles that NTR and Bandla Ganesh will soon collaborate for a new film. Is it believable? Lets have a short recap of what happened between them over the last four years.
In 2013, NTR and comedian-turned-film producer Bandla’s first film, ‘Baadshah’ was released. Despite becoming the actor’s highest grosser then, that Srinu Vytla directorial was a cost failure. Later, the duo collaborated for Puri’s ‘Temper’. During the making of this film, rumors about the newly developed differences between NTR and Bandla erupted.
It was rumored that NTR refused to do the dubbing unless his full remuneration was paid. During an interview, Bandla allegedly confessed about the same, and those defamatory comments didn’t go well with NTR’s fans. After actor-producer Sachin Joshi developed differences with Bandla, he explained about how disgusted NTR became against Bandla during the making of Temper.
It has been 2.5 years since the release of Temper and Bandla hasn’t produced a film yet. IT raids on him and the rumors of him being an alleged benami (of politician Botsa Satyanarayana) also allegedly forced star heroes to stay away from Bandla.
Now, a rumor has come out of the blue about NTR collaborating with Bandla again. It may be noted that producers for NTR’s next two projects, to be directed by Trivikram and Koratala Siva respectively, are already finalized. Meanwhile, there was no news of NTR and Bandla’s patch up in the last two years.
Considering all this, NTR collaborating with Bandla looks next to impossible.
