SCOOP: Ranveer Singh shoots for Rakshas promo with Prasanth Varma; Walks out later citing ‘Personal Reasons’

Ranveer Singh was all set to team up with Mythri Productions for an epic mythological-based period drama titled Rakshas directed by Hanuman fame Prasanth Varma. The makers officially confirmed the project in a media statement and promised a spectacle like never before. Now, in a shocking turn of events, Ranveer Singh has now decided to walk out of the film.

“Ranveer has shot for a promo in Hyderabad for the announcement of the film and it’s through the shoot of the promo that he realized that the energies are not aligning. He was not able to picture himself in the filmmaking format of South Cinema. He came back to Mumbai ahead of schedule citing personal issues and it’s on returning to the city from the sets halfway that he informed the makers about his decision of stepping back from the film,” a source told us.

The decision took the makers by shock as they were all gearing up to launch the film in a mega way. “While all the energies were aligned, the report has dropped like a bomb to the makers. They are shell shocked and wondering if there is a way to reconcile with Ranveer Singh on the film, as a lot of money has already been invested in promo shoot and pre-production,” a source close to the producers shared with us.

However, a source close to Ranveer confirms that Ranveer has made up his mind and has decided to move on.
