Sumanth's Sabhash on the backtrack

Jaya Krishna, who is reeling under heavy pressure after the flop of Abhay, is finding it hard to continue the shooting of Sumant's film under production 'Sabhash'. Sai Balaji, who directed a Srihari's film in the past, is directing this venture. The shooting of the film was started on 6th of November 2000. Chandni is doing the heroine role. Sumant have not had a single hit so far in his career and all the efforts by Annapurna studios to establish Sumanth are going on drain. Sumanth's earlier solo film 'Ramma Chilakamma' was bought Annapurna distributors and flopped miserably. Sumanth has played the role of sincere police officer in 'Sabhash'. With the current trend of love stories making the hay, its very unlikely that Sumant's Sabhash releasing in the distant future.
