Nagabharana's budget cost him Jugari Cross

Kannada film director

Nagabharana

, who was supposed to direct Chirajeevi Sarja-starrer

Jugari Cross

, is now officially out of the project. The reason, as stated by the film's producer -

Kaddipudi

Chandru, has to do with the fact that the director's budget expectations played hindrance to the tie up.
"I am not able to meet the budget that Nagabharana expects for this film. We discussed the matter with him and his son Pannaga Bharana and have decided to call it quits," the producer has said. The film, however, continues to be on the cards, as the producer is now in search of another director who can match the budget set by the producer. Until now, the film - which was launched in February 2019, has roped in a stellar team that includes actors like Rangayana Raghu and Karisubbu. The film's music is said to be composed by Vasuki Vaibav and has HC Venu as its cinematographer.
