In November 2018, ace filmmaker SS Rajamouli had announced that his son SS Karthikeya would be debuting as a producer for the Telugu film, Aakashavaani. This film is helmed by SS Rajamouli’s former assistant Ashwin Gangaraju. In fact, the film’s concept poster was also unveiled by Rajamouli, who was extremely happy for his son. Today, (May 9), almost after more than a year and a half, SS Karthikeya has issued a statement and clarified that he is backing out of his maiden Telugu production due to the creative differences with director.

However, some good sojourns have to end.” He also mentioned, “With an amazing crew in place, progress has been great on the film.
