Mahesh Babu pulls of out film with Rangasthalam director Sukumar due to 'creative differences'

Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu took to Twitter to announce that he is no longer collaborating with  Rangasthalam director Sukumar. The duo had previously worked together in the critically acclaimed psychological thriller 1: Nenokkadine, which turned out to be a box office dud.

The actor cited creative differences as his reason to pull out of the film and wished the director good luck for his new venture.

Due to creative differences, my film with Sukumar is not happening. I wish him all the best on the announcement of his new project. Respect always for a film maker par exellence. 1 Nenokkadine will remain as a cult classic. Enjoyed every moment working on that film.
