S. J. Surya Replaced With ‘Gopala Gopala’ Director For Pawan Kalyan’s Next

After the debacle of ‘Sardaar Gabbar Singh’, reports suggested that Pawan Kalyan has teamed up with director S. J. Surya for his next. Rumours were doing the rounds that the film will be a sequel of duo’s 2001 hit film ‘Kushi’, but later it was cleared that it won’t be a sequel and will just be a romantic entertainer. The project was set to kick-start soon, but now the director has been replaced.

According to reports, S. J. Surya has been replaced by director Kishore Kumar Pardasani who worked with the Powerstar in ‘Gopala Gopala’. A source revealed that S. J. Surya is being offered lot of acting projects lately, and that is why he was replaced from the venture. The source said, "Director S.J. Surya recently received high acclaim for his performance as an actor in the Tamil film 'Iraivi'. Post release of Iraivi Surya has been receiving many offers in Tamil and Telugu as an actor".

 Reportedly, the filmmaker tried to adjust the shooting dates for his film with the Atharintiki Daaredi actor. But things did not work out and the director was replaced with mutual consent. The pre-production work of the film will now be headed by Kishore Kumar Pardasani and the film is expected to go on floors in the last week of July.
