Indian filmmaker Prasanth Varma recently made a cryptic post on ‘X’ which states ‘One day you realise every rejection was a blessing in disguise’. The post raised the eyebrows of fans as people thought that he was talking about Bollywood superstar Ranveer Singh. Now reacting to the same, he said that he did not target anyone. Both the actor and director duo were set to collaborate on the film titled Rakshas. However, as per reports the project was shelved due to creative differences.
In an interview with Hindustan Times, Prasanth said “Definitely not targetted at anyone. It was a very generic feeling I had in the morning and I thought about posting it. I was thinking about the overall journey. Had people not rejected me in my initial years, I wouldn’t have ended up making Hanu-Man. I was feeling grateful because had I done any of the films that I had previously pitched to other actors, had I done those films, Hanu-Man would have never happened.”
“I try to put up posts to inspire people. That sentence is almost like a quote from which anyone can take inspiration. But on social media only 10 per cent, I think, got inspired and the remaining 90 per cent are trying to (baselessly)connect the dots. It had been quite a while I hadn’t posted anything because whatever you post gets interpreted in a number of ways and you cannot control it. A lot of times I don’t post anything [out of the fear] of being misinterpreted,” the filmmaker added.
About not working with Ranveer Singh, Prasanth said “There were differing points of view about making the film. As an actor, I really respect him. And I believe that even he respects my work. Not right now. It will take me time to think of someone else for that film. I haven’t thought of anyone. The film is currently on hold.”
Prasanth Varma is known for his work in Hanu-Man, That Is Mahalakshmi, Adbhutham, Zombie Reddy, Ritu Goes Online, Kalki, Limitless and Limitless to name a few.
