Why did Allu Arjun exit the project with Trivikram Srinivas?

As per a previous report by 123 Telugu, Allu Arjun had indeed walked out of his long-standing project with Trivikram Srinivas. 

It is worth noting that this project was touted as one of the most ambitious movies for both the actor and the director, especially since the former would be playing a mythological character for the first time.

While the makers have not confirmed this, it is believed that the actor’s exit has been fueled by some unresolved creative differences with the director and scheduling conflicts with Allu Arjun’s existing movie lineup. 

Despite all the buzz, neither Trivikram nor Allu Arjun has commented on the matter as of yet.
