Corroboration: 2 independent outlets

A section of Ram Charan's fans has criticised director Buchi Babu Sana after he said at a promotional event for Irumudi that the first script he ever wrote was intended for Ravi Teja and that he would narrate a story to him soon. m9.news reports that fans accused the director of being opportunistic, pointing out that he had made similar statements about Charan during the promotion of Peddi. Buchi Babu made his debut with Uppena and later directed Peddi starring Ram Charan. While Peddi performed well domestically, telugucinema.com notes that its overseas and overall reception was mixed. The director had earlier hinted that his next film would also feature Charan, but that is now seen as unlikely. Reports linking him with Mahesh Babu and Chiranjeevi also did not materialise. The Irumudi event comments have triggered speculation that Ravi Teja could be the star for Buchi Babu's next project. Some observers, however, say such remarks are routine in the industry and should not be taken too seriously. No official announcement has been made about his next film.
