Naga Shourya has apparently been dropped from a few projects because of his attitude. The actor is currently working on Oka Manasu directed by Rama Raju and also in the debut film of Niharika Konidela. According to a source, with three to four projects in hand, the actor has been throwing his weight around, leading to a few producers backing out.
Director Sukumar of Kumari 21F fame wanted to produce another film and had even roped in Naga Shourya for it. But the actor has now been dropped from the project. He has also lost another film with an NRI producer.
“NRI producer Ram Akella had even given an advance to the actor. But he has taken that back and has decided to replace Naga Shourya with another actor,” says a source.
“The actor is giving attitude and putting directors and produces on hold for long hours. He also has not been allotting dates, so they decided to replace him,” adds the source.
The actor is also apparently having trouble with the makers of Kalyana Vaibhogame, but they are not talking about it as the film is still running in the theatres. “They had erected a big set for a scene that cost Rs 25 lakh, but the actor didn’t turn up on time and they had to dismantle the set as the place was to be used for another film,” said the source.
Another problem with Naga Shourya is that though he is an upcoming actor, he has around 10 personal staff, which is an added burden for producers.
