Veteran actor Jagapathi Babu is currently the most sought after character actor in Telugu cinema industry. He is a must in all the big ticket movies lately.
Jagapathi Babu who featured in key roles in Mahesh's previous films Srimanthudu and Maharshi was roped into play an important character in Sarileru Neekevvaru.
Jagapathi was happy to team up with Mahesh after scoring back to back hits with him. But he was upset to know that his role has been trimmed before going to the sets.
Jagapathi felt that his role would turn out miniscule and pointless and hence decided to walk out of the project.
Director Anil Ravipudi has locked the script before hitting the floors and therefore he couldn't appease Jagapathi Babu.
Now producers Dil Raju and Anil Sunkara are looking for someone who could effortlessly fill the void that is left with the exit of the star character actor.
