We can imagine the kind of damage the film Guntur Kaaram might have caused to Mahesh Babu's market had he not lined up his next film with Rajamouli.
As a bigger pan-India project with a renowned director is in the works, Guntur Kaaram didn’t trouble Mahesh Babu much.
Now, it seems NTR is applying the same formula, according to sources.
Rumor has it that NTR is not confident about the outcome of Devara. Although there were speculations about a sequel to this film, reliable sources indicate that nothing of the sort is planned.
To mitigate the impact in case Devara delivers a negative result, NTR wishes to line up his next project with Prashanth Neel.
Sources say that NTR's pressure on Prashanth Neel is evident in this regard.
This is the talk that is heard in film industry circles.
