'Story for 'RC17' is already locked': Kiran
Hussain Sha Kiran, Sukumar's associate director and co-writer for RC17, has now clarified that he inadvertently created confusion by mentioning two stories instead of two versions, as per 123 Telugu. He explained that Sukumar usually asks his writers to work on multiple versions of a story before choosing the best one. "The story for RC17 is already locked," Kiran confirmed, putting an end to speculation about delays in the film's production.
