It looks as if movie buffs will have to wait for some more time for the eagerly-anticipated Hiranyakashipu, directed Gunasekhar. Rana Daggubati is playing the title role, but the rest of the cast remains to be selected.

Gunasekhar’s team is still working on the pre-production, and shooting may start from October this year. “There is a lot of animation and Vfx work involved in this film and pre-production work is expected to be finalised around August,” says a source.

Gunasekhar has been working hard on the film for the last couple of years. “He wants to come up with a visual extravaganza, so he is working on the graphics too,” says the source.

A few big sets are needed, and once the pre-production is complete, work on erecting the sets will start. “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”, adds the source.
