RP Patnaik to score for Chiranjeevi

The game of musical chairs is going on for Chiranjeevi's film with Vijaya Bapineedu. It was KS Ravi Kumar, who was supposed to direct this venture. But the miserable failure of 'Bava Nachadu' has triggered Vijaya Bapineedu to square on EVV Satya Narayana to direct his film. But the recent spate of failures from EVV in the form of 'Thank You Subba Rao' and 'Veedekkadi Mogudandi' has put Vijaya Bapineedu again in the fix. According to the highly placed sources belonging to Vijaya Bapineedu, it is revealed that VN Aditya is the new choice for the film. VN Aditya has directed the recent runaway hit 'Manasanta Nuvve'. Though RP Patnaik did not confirmed the report, he added that RP is going score the music if VN Aditya directs the film. We have to wait and see who the final director for the film is in the months to come!
