Balayya has shot 17 minutes of footage with leading actors like Soundarya, Sarath Babu and Real Star Sri Hari in the initial days. This footage according to him is going to entice the audiences and Balayya will donate the proceedings to the Basavatarakam Charitable Trust.<\/p>\n<p>Megastar Chiranjeevi started a Pan-Indian magnum opus named \u2018Return of the Thief of Baghdad\u2019 in the late 90s. It was later shelved as makers thought that the film will not be viable for them. Abu was mired in controversies as Islamic organizations alleged that the film\u2019s team had drenched the Quran in tea to create an antique feel.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Basha\u2019 fame Suresh Krissna directed it, AR Rahman was roped in to score the music for the shelved project. Mega fans hope that Chiranjeevi will tread Balayya\u2019s way and release the footage shot and provide a feast for them. Let\u2019s hope that Megastar will respond positively to his fans\u2019 desire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nandamuri Balakrishna started the new trend of releasing unfinished movies in the past on OTT platforms.
