Lately, Apoorva Lakhia is not too happy with the troubled patch his magnum opus Zanjeer is going through. A few minor accidents, then cast member Sonu Sood’s injury, Sanjay Dutt’s conviction and now, the Mehra brothers battling to stall the release of the film, the director has had more than his fair share of problems. We now hear that Apoorva’s lead actor, Ram Charan Teja, and his family have requested him to seek divine intervention to ensure a smoother future for the film. Ram has advised Apoorva to perform a puja for the same. “The puja will be performed by the cast and crew of the film. Priyanka Chopra and Ram will be present. The team is trying their best to get Sonu to attend the puja as well,” shared a source close to Apoorva Lakhia. Of course, the mood on the sets of Zanjeer is a little low at present because of Sanjay Dutt’s legal troubles, but the team is trying their best to not let it hamper their work. “The film is up for release and Ram was the one to suggest that they kickstart the promotions soon. The team is yet to take a call on where the special puja will be — Mumbai or Hyderabad,” our source added. The team’s hoping that things will only improve from now on.
