Siddhant Chaturvedi's Netflix Film 'Ramree' Shelved Due to Budget Woes

In a setback for Siddhant Chaturvedi's career, his upcoming Netflix film 'Ramree' has been shelved due to budget constraints. The project, which was being developed for over a year, was envisioned as a large-scale period drama set in 1945, blending historical events with cinematic storytelling.

However, the elaborate setting and production requirements of 'Ramree' led to a significant increase in the film's budget, ultimately becoming a major hurdle. According to a source close to the development, while the platform heads were excited about the story, the financial stakes were too high, and they decided not to move forward with the project.

Another insider offered a different perspective, suggesting that 'Ramree' never reached the official greenlight stage, as a project is considered greenlit only when it goes into production. The source explained that 'Ramree' was an idea in development that did not materialize, a natural part of the creative process where multiple concepts are explored, with some taking shape and others not.

The shelving of 'Ramree' comes at a time when Siddhant Chaturvedi has been receiving praise for his recent performance in 'Dhadak 2', which explored the harsh realities of caste discrimination and societal prejudice. The actor's nuanced portrayal in the film has earned him widespread appreciation, raising expectations for his future projects.
