Over the last 3 days, Ranveer Singh has been hitting the headline for all the wrong reasons as he decided to walk out of the Prasanth Varma directed Rakshas, after committing to start the film from July. The controversy gained even more momentum after Bollywood Hungama broke the news that Ranveer Singh has walked out of the film after shooting with the team for an exclusive announcement video for two days in Hyderabad. And now, we have another scoop for our readers.
Ranveer Singh’s shocking exit from Prasanth Varma’s Rakshas costs producers Rs. 25 crores; leaves them stunned, furious and in financial turmoil!
A source close to the production tells us that Ranveer Singh’s u turn has cost the producers, Mythri Productions, a loss of Rs. 25 crores. “This has not gone down well with Mythri. To start with, Ranveer went and leaked his decision of not doing the film in the media before actually informing the producers. When Ranveer finally informed them about his exit, they were shell-shocked and upset. They questioned him for being unprofessional and conveyed that they were not happy with how the things unfolded,” a source told Bollywood Hungama.
Rakshas was slated to be the big-ticket entry of Mythri Production in the Hindi Film Industry, and they gave in all the respect to the superstar stature of Ranveer Singh, only to face this behaviour. “It was Ranveer who approached Prasanth Varma for the film and it was due to Ranveer’s request that Mythri came on board. They spent nearly Rs. 25 crores on the pre-production, which includes a massive sum of Rs. 10 crores splurged for the 4-day announcement video shoot. All of it has gone waste now, as Ranveer has backed out from Rakshas. The announcement video will now find a place in the archives of Mythri,” the source told us further.
This is the third Ranveer Singh film that has failed to take off in the post Covid world. The earlier ones include Shankar’s big ticket period drama, and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Baiju Bawra among others. Two other announced films – Shaktimaan and Don 3 – are also in an iffy state, though the makers claim that the film will take off in 2025. It’s all wait and watch for now!
