Siddhant Chaturvedi's Netflix film, Ramree
Mid-Day reported that Siddhant Chaturvedi's Ramree was a two-hero project. Set in 1945, the film was reportedly being produced by Ajay Devgn. But the portal shared that work on the film had been going on for over a year, and given the subject and the period setting, it was an expensive project.
The source further mentioned, "For an OTT film, this would have set a benchmark in scale and imagination, but budget constraints caught up with it. Even though the platform heads were excited about the story, there was too much at stake financially. So, they decided to not move forward with it."
On the other hand, another source mentioned that a project is considered greenlit only when it goes on the floor, and added, "Ramree was an idea in development that did not move forward, a natural part of the creative process where multiple concepts are explored. While some take shape, some don’t."
