Gangs Of Godavari sequel confirmed by Vishwak Sen

Earlier, producer Naga Vamsi of Sitara Entertainments had hinted at the sequel to Gangs Of Godavari. The same was confirmed by Vishwak at a recent press meet. Not only has this raised the anticipation surrounding Gangs Of Godavari but its planned sequel.

Vishwak was not the first choice for Gangs Of Godavari

Meanwhile, Krishna Chaitanya shared an interesting detail about his upcoming movie. He claimed that Vishwak, known for his HIT and Gaami, was not the first choice for this gritty rural set action drama.

According to 123 Telugu, Krishna said, "I first shared the idea of the Gangs of Godavari with artist Anand Ramaraju, and from there, we began working on the story. The film initially started with Sharwanand. But Sharwanand asked to keep this movie on hold as his movie before this was an emotional film. Because of this, we encountered some gaps. Another movie of mine was also put on hold, and I was afraid there would be a lot of gaps. Then I narrated this story to Vishwak, and he liked the story, and the film took off again.”

Gangs of Godavari also stars Neha Sshetty and Anjali as the female leads.
