Last
year,
the
charming
Varun
Tej
became
the
talk
of
the
town
for
all
the
right
reasons
when
Fidaa
opened
to
a
thunderous
response
at
the
box
office
and
received
rave
reviews
at
the
box
office.
Directed
by
Sekhar
Kammula,
the
film
was
a
romantic-drama
and
also
featured
Sai
Pallavi
in
the
lead.
Earlier
this
year,
he
consolidated
his
standing
in
the
industry
with
the
romantic-drama
Tholi
Prema.
The
film
also
featured
Raashi
Khanna
in
the
lead
and
did
well
at
the
box
office.
Now,
the
young
man
is
in
the
news
for
a
surprising
reason.
According
to
a
leading
website,
Varun
Tej
was
the
original
choice
for
the
Chandoo
Mondeti
directed
Savyasachi.
However,
he
turned
it
down
at
the
discussion
stage
citing
date
issues,
According
to
Gulte,
the
buzz
is
that
he
did
not
like
the
script
and
hence
turned
it
down.
Following
this,
Naga
Chaitanya
was
signed
on
to
play
the
lead.
In
case
you
did
not
know,
Savyasachi
is
a
thriller
and
it
revolves
around
the
'vanishing
twin
syndrome'.
The
film
opened
to
a
decent
response
at
the
box
office
on
Friday(November
5,
2018).
However,
it
failed
to
impress
a
large
section
of
the
critics.
Besides
Naga
Chaitanya,
Savyasachi
also
features
R
Madhavan
and
the
Bollywood
beauty
Nidhhi
Agerwal
in
the
lead.
The
supporting
cast
features
names
such
as
Bharath
Reddy
and
Bhumika
Chawla.
