Aswini Dutt released a press statement about his plans on making a sequel to Jagadeka Veerudu Atiloka Sundari, gossip mongers started going head over heels about the project. Aswini Dutt didn’t leak a single detail about the film except for the title Jagadeka Veerudu 2. But media assumed that Ram Charan will do the lead role and grapevine added some spice by bringing Sridevi’s daughter Jhanvi Kapoor into the picture. Some section of the web media even declared the director and reported that SS Rajamouli is set to direct this film.

However, Rajamouli condemned these rumors and said that he is currently busy with Marayada Ramanna and committed to do a film with Prabhas as his next. “JVAS 2 is an exciting idea. But I have many commitments before I can take it up. Which practically makes it impossible for me,’ Rajamouli said. So Rajamouli is officially out of consideration. Who will be the next on gossip list to direct this film? Wait for a couple of days, a new name will definitely pop out!
