Director Hanu Raghavapudi is known for his persistence over the years. He made every effort to work with Jr NTR, and there was a time when the project came very close, but it was eventually dropped by the star.
Everyone thought Hanu would never get a big star in his career. Fast forward to now, Hanu has secured the biggest star in India. He is currently directing Prabhas, the top pan-India star.
