In his recent interview, Ram Charan shared: "Srinu Vytla met me 3-4 times to narrate the story but I am yet to take a final call. Even Mani Ratnam approached us with a story, but we told it won't work for us. He is now making the same film with Mammooty's Son. Surely, I will work under his direction one day. I have a Telugu-Tamil film with Gautham Menon and it might start next year. Storyline narrated by Kona Venkat-Gopi Mohan is very good. They are now working on the bound script. It will go on floors next year. Director is yet to be finalised".
When asked why Koratala Siva's film was shelved, Charan clarified he would accept advance only 1 week before the film goes on to the sets. Though Koratala Siva's storyline was good, the bound script didn't meet his expectations. He blames Bandla Ganesh for holding pooja ceremony in a hurry just because of good muhurat. However, Charan declared he would surely work with Koratala Siva one day.
Ram Charan is well aware of the criticism he received for 'Zanjeer'. Hence, He claims to be taking time to finalize his next project.
