Gunasekhar busy with pre-production activities

But the buzz in the T-Town is that Gunasekhar is now busy with the pre-production activities, which he has planned to wrap up by August and kick-start its shoot in October. Suresh Babu, who is bankrolling it, is now busy erecting giant sets at Ramanaidu Studios in Vizag and a major portion of the shoot will take place in this studio.

"There is a lot of animation and VFX work involved in this film and pre-production work is expected to be finalised around August. He wants to come up with a visual extravaganza, so he is working on the graphics too," Deccan Chronicle quoted a source as saying.

Rana Daggubati is playing the title role in Hiranyakashipu "They don't want to go the way of Baahubali and Sye Raa, for which filmmakers put in a lot of money. That's why Gunasekhar is taking so much time for the pre-production and taking care not to exceed the budget", added the source.
