Ranveer Singh, who is expecting his first child with actress-wife Deepika Padukone, has reportedly opted out of Prasanth Varma’s ‘Rakshas’, which is set against the backdrop of Indian mythology. Ranveer’s character was rumoured to embody a complex character with shades of negativity and darkness.
However, as per the latest report, Ranveer and Prasanth have decided to part ways on the project due to creative differences. “Ranveer had travelled to Hyderabad in April for a photo shoot to announce the film. While all the plans were set, the official announcement has now hit a roadblock. Ranveer Singh will no longer be a part of Prashanth Varma’s Rakshas. They have amicably parted ways due to creative differences,” a source close to the development informed Pinkvilla.
“They were exploring and deciding several solutions, but they have decided to move on now with the promise of collaborating in the near future,” the source added. Prasanth, who has directed ‘HanuMan’, will restart the casting process for ‘Rakshas’, as he plans to bring this film to the big screen before moving on to ‘Jai HanuMan’.
A source close to Ranveer said that the actor is taking it slow and is gearing up to embrace fatherhood this year. “He is prioritising family over his hectic film schedule. While he is hearing a lot of scripts, his focus is to invest more time in the family. He is secure with his line up, while continuing to read more to have exciting projects under his kitty. The two confirmed films at the moment include Don 3 and Shaktimaan. There’s Aditya Dhar’s next also in the writing stage,” the source shared.
Ranveer Singh will next be seen in Rohit Shetty’s ‘Singham Again’, which features an ensemble cast including Deepika Padukone, Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, Arjun Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan. Additionally, he is involved in Farhan Akhtar’s ‘Don 3’. Last year, Farhan Akhtar unveiled Ranveer Singh as the new Don in Don 3: The Final Chapter.
