Actually, director Sandeep Reddy narrated the story of ‘Arjun Reddy’ to new-age producer Raj Kandukuri who was impressed with the exciting storyline more than a year ago.. Both producer and young director discussed the script for over one year before Sandeep told him that he is going make the film on his own and Raj wished him good luck.
‘Raj Kandukuri told Sandeep and Vijay Devarakonda that it will be sensation of RGV’s Shiva and it finally happened’ says a source, close to the unit. Raj was eager to make this bold and path-breaking film nearly a year ago, but due his prior commitments he had to let go off the film with heavy heart.
“Yesterday Sandeep called up Raj and thanked him for his prediction coming true as the film is creating sensation inside and outside the industry for its bold characterisation and content, the soure adds. Actually, Raj was fascinated with the honesty in hero’s character who is doctor but doesn’t operate person when he is drunk and even his drug addiction make the character more vulnerable and humane. “Vijay’s performance is the highlight of the film’. Bad luck Raj!
