As per some media reports, Jagapathi Babu has walked out of 'Sarileru Neekevvaru'. He was roped in to play a fairly important role in the Mahesh Babu entertainer.

However, writer-director Anil Ravipudi is said to have given the role a short-shrift later. When Jagapathi came to know about the reduced importance, he expressed his dissatisfaction. As producers Dil Raju and Anil Sunkara couldn't convince him to stay on, the villain of 'Maharshi' decided to call it quits.

'SN' has Rashmika Mandanna as the heroine. Vijayashanti occupies a pride of place in the story.

With music and cinematography by Devi Sri Prasad and Rathnavelu, the film will be shot in Hyderabad after the ongoing Kashmir schedule.
