Ever since it was announced that the film is titled Gang Leader, netizens, particularly mega star Chiranjeevi’s fans, have been discussing the suitability of the title for a Nani starrer. Gang Leader is the title of one of the biggest hits that had Chiranjeevi as its main lead, therefore, his fans feel that it should be used for his son Ram Charan Teja’s films.
Meanwhile, there are reports that the star will be donning the greasepaint in a film to be made under KS Rama Rao’s banner Creative Commercials. The producer and actor are currently in the process of roping in a director with an excellent script for the project but they haven’t signed up anyone yet.
