There was news long back that RaNa is going to don a lead role in a supposed flick of successful Tamil director Selvaraghavan. The director won many fans in Telugu also for his realistic dramas and sensitive love portrayals. However, the flick never materialized to go onto the sets. The reason behind this is said to be Suresh Babu and his 'clever ideas' in terms of remuneration and script with Selvaraghava.
Impatient with the rules and regulations set by this shrewd producer, Selva turned the story to Allu Arjun. The stylish star has always had a penchant for these kind of realistic dramas and it is understood with his take on VEDAM. Bunny is said to have okayed the script and gave a green signal for the movie after finishing Trivikram's LOVER. People are saying this is surely RaNa's bad luck and Bunny's good luck.
