Gunashekar oscillates between Vishal and Arjun

Director Gunashekar was once most sought after director. At the peak of his career – Okkadu and Arjun, all the top heroes themselves announced that they were planning a movie with Gunashekar. Some stars even offered ‘bulk’ dates if he accepts to direct them. But the colossal failure of Sainikudu changed Gunashekar’s fate. Now, he is making rounds to the heroes but none of the stars are saying yes.
Only two heroes – Allu Arjun and Vishal – said okay to do his film. Now, Gunashekar has to wait these heroes to finish their current projects to begin a film with one of them. Chances are that his next would probably with Vishal. Danaiah has come forward to produce it. On other hand, Allu Arjun too is showing keen interest to work with the director but it will take time to materialize.
